A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.

William Shakespeare
What's brave, what's noble, let's do it after the Roman fashion.

William Shakespeare
The fool multitude, that choose by show, not learning more than the fond eye doth teach.
William Shakespeare
In delay there lies no plenty.
William Shakespeare
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
William Shakespeare
Report of fashions in proud Italy Whose manners still our tardy-apish nation Limps after in base imitation
