Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.

William Shakespeare
Policy sits above conscience.
William Shakespeare
A virtuous and a Christianlike conclusion-- To pray for them that have done scathe to us.
William Shakespeare
How use doth breed a habit in a man.
William Shakespeare
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
Things in motion sooner catch the eye than what not stirs.
William Shakespeare
Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.
William Shakespeare
To be merry best becomes you for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour.

But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat.
William Shakespeare
Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.
William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
I scorn you, scurvy companion.
William Shakespeare
If wishes would prevail with me, my purpose should not fail with me.
William Shakespeare
Good words are better than bad strokes.
William Shakespeare
Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back, When gold and silver becks me to come on.
William Shakespeare
Fear no more the heat o' th' sun Nor the furious winters' rages Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages. Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
William Shakespeare
Read o'er this And after, this, and then to breakfast with What appetite you have.
William Shakespeare
On your eyelids crown the god of sleep, Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness, Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep As is the difference betwixt day and night The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team Begins his golden progress in the east.
William Shakespeare
