Image
Put forth thy hand, reach at the glorious gold.
William Shakespeare
Image
Under the greenwood tree, Who loves to lie with me And tune his merry note, Unto the sweet bird's throat Come hither, come hither, come hither. Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather.
William Shakespeare

Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir.

Farewell, my sister, fare thee well. The elements be kind to thee, and make Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well.
William Shakespeare
Image
Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face! I had rather lie in the woolen.
William Shakespeare
Image

William Shakespeare
Image

They say miracles are past.

William Shakespeare
Image
He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
Some are born great, others achieve greatness.
William Shakespeare
Image
I do know of these That therefore only are reputed wise For saying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Better be with the dead, Whom we to gain our peace, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In restless ecstasy.
William Shakespeare
Image
Cold indeed, and labor lost: Then farewell heat, and welcome frost!
William Shakespeare
Image
I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.
William Shakespeare
Image
What though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.
William Shakespeare
Image
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
William Shakespeare
