William Shakespeare
Free from gross passion or of mirth of anger constant spirit, not swerving with the blood, garnish'd and deck'd in modest compliment, not working with the eye without the ear, and but in purged judgement trusting neither? Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem.
William Shakespeare
They that have voice of lions and act of hares,--are they not monsters?
William Shakespeare
If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
William Shakespeare
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltiness of time.
William Shakespeare
I think thy horse will sooner con an oration than thou learn a prayer without book.
William Shakespeare
Et tu Brute! (You too, Brutus!)
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses.
William Shakespeare
