Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir.
William Shakespeare
Image
The tyrant custom, most grave senators, Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war My thrice-driven bed of down.
William Shakespeare
Image
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
Image
We are advertis'd by our loving friends.
William Shakespeare
Image
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare

Fondling,' she saith, 'since I have hemm'd thee here Within the circuit of this ivory pale, I'll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale: Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
William Shakespeare
Image
All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus There is no virtue like necessity.
William Shakespeare
Image
We suffer a lot the few things we lack and we enjoy too little the many things we have.
William Shakespeare
Image
For as a surfeit of the sweetest things The deepest loathing to the stomach brings, Or as tie heresies that men do leave Are hated most of those they did deceive, So thou, my surfeit and my heresy, Of all be hated, but the most of me!
William Shakespeare
Image
Robust grass endures mighty winds loyal ministers emerge through ordeal.
William Shakespeare
Image
Here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.
William Shakespeare
Image
The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.
William Shakespeare
Image
Divers philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the mouth.
William Shakespeare
Image
Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation, where each second Stood heir to th's first.
William Shakespeare
Image
This fellow pecks up wit, as pigeons peas And utters it again when God doth please: He is wit's pedler and retails his wares.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though age from folly could not give me freedom, It does from childishness.
William Shakespeare
Image
Is this the generation of love? Hot blood, hot thoughts and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers. Is love a generation of vipers?
William Shakespeare
Image
Muster your wits stand in your own defence.
William Shakespeare
Image
Some grief shows much of love, But much of grief shows still some want of wit.
William Shakespeare
