William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Thus have I, Wall, my part discharged so And, being done, thus Wall away doth go.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming I love not less, though less the show appear: That love is merchandised whose rich esteeming The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
William Shakespeare
The violence of either grief or joy, their own enactures with themselves destroy.
William Shakespeare
To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures.
William Shakespeare
Speak to me as to thy thinkings, As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts The worst of words.
William Shakespeare
Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them.
William Shakespeare
