Mechanic slaves With greasy aprons, rules, and hammers, shall Uplift us to the view.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
To be direct and honest is not safe.
William Shakespeare
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercise.

Fie, thou dishonest Satan! I call thee by the most modest terms for I am one of those gentle ones that will use the devil himself with courtesy: sayest thou that house is dark?

O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.

QUINCE Francis Flute, the bellows-mender. FLUTE Here, Peter Quince. QUINCE Flute, you must take Thisby on you. FLUTE What is Thisby? a wandering knight? QUINCE It is the lady that Pyramus must love. FLUTE Nay, faith, let me not play a woman I have a beard coming.
William Shakespeare
A smile cures the wounding of a frown.
William Shakespeare
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.
William Shakespeare
Tis not the many oaths that make the truth But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.
William Shakespeare
Fear and niceness, the handmaids of all women, or more truly, woman its pretty self.
William Shakespeare
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.
William Shakespeare
Love is begun by time and time qualifies the spark and fire of it.
William Shakespeare
Jesters do oft prove prophets.
William Shakespeare
