William Shakespeare
Britain is A world by itself, and we will nothing pay For wearing our own noses.
William Shakespeare
Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.
William Shakespeare

That is honor's scorn Which challenges itself as honor's born And is not like the sire. Honors thrive When rather from our acts we them derive Than our foregoers.
William Shakespeare
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
They have been at a great feast of languages, and stolen the scraps.

O hell! to choose love with another's eye.
