Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have unclasp'd to thee the book even of my secret soul.
William Shakespeare
Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow. Come, mourn with me for what I do lament, And put sullen black incontinent. I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land To wash this blood off from my guilty hand. March sadly after. Grace my mournings here In weeping after this untimely bier.
William Shakespeare
Base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them.
William Shakespeare
Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself.

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
