All difficulties are easy when they are known.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, Th' endeavor of this present breath may buy That honor which shall bate his scythe's keen edge And make us heirs of all eternity.
William Shakespeare
Image
That in the captains but a choleric word Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.
William Shakespeare

Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you
William Shakespeare
Image
A ministering angel shall my sister be.
William Shakespeare
Image
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.
William Shakespeare

The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour which doth in it live.
William Shakespeare
Image
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
Image
My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare
Image
When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.
William Shakespeare
Image
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: So, ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Of all knowledge the wise and good seek most to know themselves.
William Shakespeare
Image
To die, to sleep - To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub, For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
Image
Scratching could not make it worse, an't were such a face as yours were.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will be master of what is mine own: She is my goods, my chattels she is my house, My household stuff, my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd, Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked, or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee.
William Shakespeare
Image
Come the three corners of the world in arms, and we shall shock them.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.
William Shakespeare
Image
But clay and clay differs in dignity, Whose dust is both alike.
William Shakespeare
