Be stirring as the time be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ere I could make thee open thy white hand, and clap thyself my love then didst thou utter, I am your's for ever!

William Shakespeare
Image
When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength and this weakness gives strength to your opponents.
William Shakespeare
Image
I can no longer live by thinking.
William Shakespeare

Thou speak'st like him's untutored to repeat: Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.
William Shakespeare

Mechanic slaves With greasy aprons, rules, and hammers, shall Uplift us to the view.

Where every something, being blent together turns to a wild of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Go, write it in a martial hand be curst and brief it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and fun of invention: taunt him with the licence of ink: if thou thou'st him some thrice, it shall not be amiss and as many lies as will lie in thy shee.
William Shakespeare
Image
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
Image
Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have, Not knowing them until we know their grave.
