William Shakespeare
What is aught but as 'tis valued?
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
Charity itself fulfills the law. And who can sever love from charity?
William Shakespeare
By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place In my heart's love hath no man than yourself. Nay, task me to my word approve me, lord.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?
William Shakespeare
War is no strife To the dark house and the detested wife.
William Shakespeare
I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream.
William Shakespeare
