William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Determine on some course more than a wild exposure to each chance.
William Shakespeare
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
The wheel is come full circle.
William Shakespeare
