William Shakespeare
O the world is but a word were it all yours to give it in a breath, how quickly were it gone!
William Shakespeare
Then is it sin to rush into the secret house of death. Ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
Read o'er this And after, this, and then to breakfast with What appetite you have.
William Shakespeare
I have almost forgotten the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool’d to hear a night-shriek and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in’t: I have supt full with horrors Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, cannot once start me.
William Shakespeare
The last taste of sweets is sweetest last.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
So many horrid Ghosts.
William Shakespeare
Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.
William Shakespeare
Time travels in divers paces with divers persons. I'll tell you who Time ambles withal, who Time trots withal, who Time gallops withal, and who he stands still withal.
William Shakespeare
Silence is only commendable In a neat's tongue dried, and a maid not vendible.
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare
