William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The due of honor in no point omit.
William Shakespeare
So curses all Eve's daughters of what complexion soever.
William Shakespeare
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.
William Shakespeare
A good heart is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.

When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare
