William Shakespeare
The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make instruments to plague us.
William Shakespeare
Those that do teach young babes Do it with gentle means and easy tasks.
William Shakespeare
The hideous god of war.
William Shakespeare
Every man has a bag hanging before him, in which he puts his neighbour's faults, and another behind him in which he stows his own.
