William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
And in some perfumes there is more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound.
William Shakespeare
He is not great who is not greatly good.
William Shakespeare
A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
William Shakespeare
O, Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming, By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought Put on for villainy, not born where't grows, But worn a bait for ladies.
William Shakespeare
And ruin`d love when it is built anew, grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triump die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume
