William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Keep thy friend Under thy own life's key.
William Shakespeare

I desire you in friendship, and I will one way or other make you amends.
William Shakespeare
Advance our standards, set upon our foes Our ancient word of courage, fair Saint George, Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons!
William Shakespeare
Miracles are ceased and therefore we must needs admit the means, how things are perfected.
William Shakespeare
Alas, our frailty is the cause , not we! For, such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.
William Shakespeare
Discomfort guides my tongue And bids me speak of nothing but despair.
William Shakespeare
Avaunt, you cullions!
William Shakespeare
