A woman that is like a German clock, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame, And never going aright, being a watch, But being watched that it may still go right!

William Shakespeare
Faith, stay here this night they will surely do us no harm you saw they speak us fair, give us gold methinks they are such a gentle nation that, but for the mountain of mad flesh that claims marriage of me, could find in my heart to stay here still and turn witch.

A good leg will fall a straight back will stoop a black beard will turn white a curl'd pate will grow bald a fair face will wither a full eye will wax hollow: but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun, and not the moon, — for it shines bright, and never changes, but keeps his course truly.
William Shakespeare
I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
William Shakespeare
Guiltiness will speak, though tongues were out of use
William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent.
William Shakespeare
Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion. I am sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
William Shakespeare
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.
William Shakespeare
I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through the ashes of my chance.
William Shakespeare
Presume not that I am the thing I was.
William Shakespeare
He is well paid that is well satisfied.
William Shakespeare
He says, he loves my daughter I think so too for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
William Shakespeare
Let us our lives, our souls, Our debts, our careful wives, Our children, and our sins, lay on the King!
William Shakespeare
