William Shakespeare

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
William Shakespeare
Image
Preposterous ass, that never read so far to know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare
Image
You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant But yet you draw not iron, for my heart Is true as steel: leave you your power to draw, And I shall have no power to follow you.
William Shakespeare
Image
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well. It were done quickly.

The arms are fair, When the intent of bearing them is just.
