And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
William Shakespeare

Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath.
William Shakespeare
When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare
By heaven, I do love: and it hath taught me to rhyme, and to be mekancholy.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth.
William Shakespeare
A little fire is quickly trodden out, Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench.
William Shakespeare
