Image
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
Image
All things are ready, if our mind be so.
William Shakespeare

A man cannot make him laugh but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.... If I had a thousand sons, the first human principle I would teach them should be, to forswear thin potations and to addict themselves to sack.
William Shakespeare
Image
Condemn the fault and not the actor of it?
William Shakespeare
Image
Fear and niceness, the handmaids of all women, or more truly, woman its pretty self.
William Shakespeare
Image
My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare
Image
That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water
William Shakespeare
Image
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life.
William Shakespeare
Image
For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give.
William Shakespeare
Image
Oh, how this spring of love resembleth, The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all beauty of the Sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away
William Shakespeare
Image
I doubt not then but innocence shall makeFalse accusation blush, and tyrannyTremble at patience.
William Shakespeare
Image
I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.
