There is a kind of character in thy life, That to the observer doth thy history, fully unfold.
William Shakespeare
And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
William Shakespeare
Of all the flowers, me thinks a rose is best.
William Shakespeare
But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
William Shakespeare
Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up Thine own life's means!

My crown is in my heart, not on my head not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
