William Shakespeare
Sir, the year growing ancient, Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors, Which some call nature's bastards.

William Shakespeare
Blind is his love, and best befits the dark.
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
As you from crimes would pardon'd be, Let your indulgence set me free.
William Shakespeare
Every why has a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
Thus die I, thus, thus, thus. Now am I dead, Now am I fled My soul is in the sky: Tongue, lose thy light Moon take thy flight. Now die, die, die, die, die.
William Shakespeare
For grief is crowned with consolation.
William Shakespeare
Oh what fools we mortals are.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.
William Shakespeare
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility.
William Shakespeare
They say best men are molded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad
