Quote

What valor were it, when a cur doth grin, for one to thrust his hand between his teeth, when he might spurn him with his foot away?

Virtuous and fair, royal and gracious.
William Shakespeare
Image
And nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
Image
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ideas are the very coinage of your brain.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though those that are betray'd Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe
William Shakespeare
Image
My dear, dear Lord, The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation that away Men are but gilded loan or painted clay... Mine honor is my life both grow in one Take honor from me, and my life is done.
William Shakespeare
Image
Shine out fair sun, till I have bought a glass, That I may see my shadow as I pass.
William Shakespeare
Image
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.

I say there is no darkness but ignorance.

This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators, save only he,Did that they did in envy of CaesarHe only, in a general honest thoughtAnd common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elementsSo mixd in him that Nature might stand upAnd say to all the world, This was a man!
William Shakespeare
Image
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Image
Your hearts are mighty, your skins are whole.
William Shakespeare
Image
What freezings I have felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere!
William Shakespeare
Image
Weep not, sweet queen, for trickling tears are vain.
William Shakespeare

Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it.
William Shakespeare
Image
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.

For mine own part, it was Greek to me.
William Shakespeare

Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.

POLONIUS: What do you read, my lord? HAMLET: Words, words, words.
