More quotes by William Shakespeare
You are yoked with a lamb, That carries anger as the flint bears fire Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spank, And straight is cold again.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

I beseech you, Wrest once the law to your authority: To do a great right, do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
Cold indeed, and labor lost: Then farewell heat, and welcome frost!
William Shakespeare
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, That sees into the bottom of my grief?
William Shakespeare
Woe to that land that's governed by a child.
