William Shakespeare
So loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven, Visit her face' too roughly.
William Shakespeare
Not stepping over the bounds of modesty.
William Shakespeare
By innocence I swear, and by my youth, I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth, And that no woman has, nor never none Shall mistress be of it save I alone.
William Shakespeare
Speak comfortable words.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Tempt not a desperate man
William Shakespeare
When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, The cuckoo then, on every tree, Mocks married men for thus sings he, Cuckoo Cuckoo, cuckoo O, word of fear, Unpleasing to a married ear.
William Shakespeare
His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.
William Shakespeare
O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.
William Shakespeare
I may command where I adore.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Every fair from fair sometime declines
William Shakespeare
You know who you are, but know not who you could be.
William Shakespeare
Base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them.
William Shakespeare
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
William Shakespeare
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
William Shakespeare
