Extremity is the trier of spirits.
William Shakespeare
He is the most wretched of men who has never felt adversity.
William Shakespeare
But when I came, alas, to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare
I have been long a sleeper but I trust My absence doth neglect no great design Which by my presence might have been concluded.
William Shakespeare
By heaven, I do love: and it hath taught me to rhyme, and to be mekancholy.
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue, if you have it not. That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat Of habits devil, is angel yet in this.
William Shakespeare
O, had I but followed the arts!

Indeed, sir, he that sleeps feels not the toothache but a man that were to sleep your sleep, and a hangman to help him to bed, I think he would change places with his officer for look you, sir, you know not which way you shall go.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please, for so fools have.
William Shakespeare
Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.
William Shakespeare
Titus Andronicus, my lord the Emperor Sends thee this word, that, if thou love thy sons, Let Marcus, Lucius, or thyself, old Titus, Or any one of you, chop off your hand And send it to the King: he for the same Will send thee hither both thy sons alive, And that shall be the ransom for their fault.
William Shakespeare
In love the heavens themselves do guide the state Money buys lands, and wives are sold by fate.
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women mearly players.
William Shakespeare
The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.
William Shakespeare
Every fair from fair sometime declines
William Shakespeare
Here comes Monseiur Le Beau. Rosalind: With his mouth full of news. Celia: Which he will put on us, as pigeons feed their young. Rosalind: Then shall we be news-crammed. Celia: All the better we shall be the more marketable.
William Shakespeare
