That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.

He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare

So shaken as we are, so wan with care, Find we a time for frighted peace to pant And breathe short-winded accents of new broils To be commenced in stronds afar remote.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you. . . . She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes In shape no bigger than an agate stone On the forefinger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomi Athwart men’s noses as they lie asleep.
William Shakespeare
Image
There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.
William Shakespeare
Image
World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.
William Shakespeare
Image
How easy it is for the proper-false in woman's waxen hearts to set their forms!
William Shakespeare
Image
Fore God, you have here a goodly dwelling and a rich.
William Shakespeare
Image
Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty look, repeats his words, Remembers me of his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form
William Shakespeare
Image
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though justice be thy plea consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation.
William Shakespeare
