Mine eyes Were not in fault, for she was beautiful Mine ears, that heard her flattery nor my heart, That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious To have mistrusted her.
William Shakespeare
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
Thou sodden-witted lord! thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows.
William Shakespeare
But now behold, In the quick forge and working-house of thought, How London doth pour out her citizens!
William Shakespeare
But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool.
