William Shakespeare
Such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
William Shakespeare
Nothing in his life became him like leaving it.
William Shakespeare
Benvolio: What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours? Romeo: Not having that, which, having, makes them short.
William Shakespeare
