I speak of peace, while covert enmity under the smile of safety wounds the world
William Shakespeare
Image
I am a true laborer: I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness, glad of other men's good, content with my harm.
William Shakespeare
Image
I once did hold it, as our statists do, A baseness to write fair, and labour'd much How to forget that learning but, sir, now It did me yeoman's service.
William Shakespeare
Image
Un-thread the rude eye of rebellion, and welcome home again discarded faith.
William Shakespeare
Image
I go, I go, look how I go, swifter than an arrow from a bow
William Shakespeare
Image
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
William Shakespeare

O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!

O, a kiss Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge! Now, by the jealous queen of heaven, that kiss I carried from thee, dear, and my true lip Hath virgined it e'er since.
William Shakespeare
Image
Make use of time, let not advantage slip.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
William Shakespeare
Image
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Image
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.
William Shakespeare
Image
Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am not in the giving vein today.
William Shakespeare
Image
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare

It is not vain glory for a man and his glass to confer in his own chamber.
William Shakespeare
