William Shakespeare
How strange or odd some'er I bear myself, As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on.
William Shakespeare
There's many a man hath more hair than wit.
William Shakespeare
And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes Heaven drowsy with the harmony.
William Shakespeare
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother
William Shakespeare
Doubt thou the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love.
William Shakespeare
