William Shakespeare
RUMOUR: Upon my tongues continual slanders ride, The which in every language I pronounce, Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side
William Shakespeare
O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. - Romeo -
William Shakespeare
Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy.
William Shakespeare
Speak comfortable words.
William Shakespeare
For what I will, I will, and there an end.
William Shakespeare
Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
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
A lover goes toward his beloved as enthusiastically as a schoolboy leaving his books, but when he leaves his girlfriend, he feels as miserable as the schoolboy on his way to school. (Act 2, scene 2)
William Shakespeare
