Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.
William Shakespeare

There's villainous news abroad.
William Shakespeare
Image
O comfort-killing night, image of hell, Dim register and notary of shame, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell, Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!
William Shakespeare
Image
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
Image
Cowards die many times before their deaths The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
William Shakespeare
Image
So. Lie there, my art.
William Shakespeare
Image
Dirty days hath September April June and November From January up to May The rain it raineth every day All the rest have thirty-one Without a blessed gleam of sun And if any of them had two-and-thirty They'd be just as wet and twice as dirty. April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespeare
Image
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
William Shakespeare
Image
O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head, Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?
William Shakespeare
Image
There's not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the shoulders like a herald's coat without sleeves.
William Shakespeare
Image
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
Image
Women may fail when there is no strength in man
William Shakespeare
Image
O, let him pass. He hates him That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer.
William Shakespeare
Image
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men's blood: I only speak right on I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
William Shakespeare
Image
Put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
Image
She told her, while she kept it, 'Twould make her amiable and subdue my father Entirely to her love, but if she lost it Or made a gift of it, my father's eye Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt After new fancies.
William Shakespeare
Image
O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!
William Shakespeare
Image
She dreams of him that has forgot her love You dote on her that cares not for your love. 'Tis pity love should be so contrary And thinking of it makes me cry 'alas!
William Shakespeare
Image
There is a history in all men's lives.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
