William Shakespeare
Love's best habit is a soothing tongue
William Shakespeare
I am a Jew: Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with die same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is?
William Shakespeare
Many can brook the weather that love not the wind.
William Shakespeare
The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.
William Shakespeare
Rashly, And praised be rashness for it--let us know, Our indiscretion sometime serves us well When our deep plots do pall, and that should learn us There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Against the wreckful siege of battering days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
William Shakespeare
An habitation giddy and unsure Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
William Shakespeare
Love is too young to know what conscience is.
William Shakespeare
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
William Shakespeare
Refrain to-night And that shall lend a kind of easiness To the next abstinence, the next more easy For use almost can change the stamp of nature, And either master the devil or throw him out With wondrous potency.
William Shakespeare
The quality of mercy is not strained
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity.
William Shakespeare
If ever thou be'st bound in thy scarf and beaten, thou shalt find what it is to be proud of thy bondage.
William Shakespeare
I am misanthropos, and hate mankind, For thy part, I do wish thou wert a dog, That I might love thee something.
William Shakespeare
But thou art fair, and at thy birth, dear boy, Nature and Fortune join'd to make thee great: Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast, And with the half-blown rose but Fortune, O!
William Shakespeare
