When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.

Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
At once, good night- Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.
William Shakespeare

Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
William Shakespeare
For many men that stumble at the threshold are well foretold that danger lurks within.

Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low.
William Shakespeare
They told me I was everything. 'Tis a lie, I am not ague-proof.
William Shakespeare
