Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds.
William Shakespeare
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
It is great sin to swear unto a sin, But greater sin to keep a sinful oath.
William Shakespeare
Hear the meaning within the word.

Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.
William Shakespeare
The apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
William Shakespeare
Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh And sees fast-by a butcher with an axe, But will suspect 'twas he that made the slaughter?
William Shakespeare
How many cowards whose hearts are all as false As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, Who inward searched, have livers white as milk!
William Shakespeare
We suffer a lot the few things we lack and we enjoy too little the many things we have.
William Shakespeare
Tis often seen Adoption strives with nature and choice breeds A native slip to us from foreign lands.
William Shakespeare
I am giddy, expectation whirls me round. The imaginary relish is so sweet That it enchants my sense.
William Shakespeare
His steeds to water at those springs On chaliced flowers that lies And winking Mary-buds begin To ope their golden eyes: With every thing that pretty is, My lady sweet, arise.
William Shakespeare
