William Shakespeare
And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.
William Shakespeare
My soul is in the sky.
William Shakespeare
Have I caught thee, my heavenly jewel? Why, now let me die, for I have lived long enough.
William Shakespeare
World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.
William Shakespeare
You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life.
William Shakespeare
Some there be that shadows kiss Such have but a shadow's bliss.
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.

William Shakespeare
Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.
William Shakespeare
Jesters do oft prove prophets.
William Shakespeare
It is great sin to swear unto a sin, But greater sin to keep a sinful oath.
William Shakespeare
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
I do repent but heaven hath pleas'd it so To punish me with this, and this with me, That I must be their scourge and minister. I will bestow him, and will answer well The death I gave him. So again good night. I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep-searched with saucy looks: Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority from others' books.
William Shakespeare
Conceit in weakest bodies works the strongest.
William Shakespeare
You are a lover. Borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound.
William Shakespeare
