William Shakespeare
Violent fires soon burn out themselves, small showers last long, but sudden storms are short he tires betimes that spurs too fast.
William Shakespeare
Death-counterfeiting sleep.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
William Shakespeare
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
Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth. O these deliberate fools!
William Shakespeare
Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
Grace and remembrance be to you both.
William Shakespeare
All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus There is no virtue like necessity.
William Shakespeare
Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation, where each second Stood heir to th's first.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A heavier task could not have been impos'd, Than I to speak my griefs unspeakable.
William Shakespeare
Well-apparel'd April on the heel Of limping Winter treads.
William Shakespeare
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare
We may outrun By violent swiftness And lose by over-running.
William Shakespeare
The old folk, time's doting chronicles.
William Shakespeare
Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?
William Shakespeare
The heavens forbid But that our loves and comforts should increase Even as our days do grow!
William Shakespeare
A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame.
William Shakespeare
Yea from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records.
William Shakespeare
