William Shakespeare
Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.
William Shakespeare
There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
William Shakespeare
He is white-livered and red-faced.
William Shakespeare
What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet, But poisoned flattery?
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
William Shakespeare
On a day - alack the day! - Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair Playing in the wanton air
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Experience teacheth that resolution is a sole help in need.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
Your if is the only peacemaker much virtue in if.
William Shakespeare
Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I ha' lost my reputation, I ha' lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial!
William Shakespeare
The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.
William Shakespeare
Barnes are blessings.
William Shakespeare
Short summers lightly have a forward spring.
William Shakespeare
Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain
William Shakespeare
Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in, bear t that th' opposed may beware of thee.
William Shakespeare
