To die: - to sleep: No more and, by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.

My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw.
William Shakespeare
Image
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.

For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William Shakespeare
Image
And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.
William Shakespeare
Image
The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.
William Shakespeare
Image
For what good turn? Messenger: For the best turn of the bed.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is not night when I do see your face, Therefore I think I am not in the night Nor doth this wood lack worlds of company, For you in my respect are all the world: Then how can it be said I am alone, When all the world is here to look on me?
William Shakespeare
Image
His life was gentle and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
William Shakespeare
Image
You wear out a good wholesome forenoon in hearing a cause between an orange wife and a fosset-seller.
