And controversy hence a question takes, Whether the horse by him became his deed, Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
William Shakespeare
Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day.
William Shakespeare
A woman is a dish for the gods, if the devil dress her not.

Besides, they are our outward consciences, And preachers to us all, admonishing That we should drew us fairly for our end.
William Shakespeare
His forward voice now is to speak well of his friend. His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract.
William Shakespeare
I am not in the giving vein today.
William Shakespeare
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
William Shakespeare
