Image
Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
William Shakespeare
Image
My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree Murder, stern murder in the dir'st degree, Throng to the bar, crying all, 'Guilty!, guilty!
William Shakespeare
Image
To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans coy looks, with heart-sore sighs one fading moment's mirth
William Shakespeare
Image
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare

for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)
William Shakespeare
Image
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
William Shakespeare
Image
To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still.
William Shakespeare
Image
He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a million laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated my enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew.
William Shakespeare
Image
In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
William Shakespeare
Image
Talkers are no good doers.
William Shakespeare
Image
A kind Of excellent dumb discourse.
William Shakespeare

Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
