Some are born great, others achieve greatness.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
William Shakespeare
Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast...
William Shakespeare
Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?

There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind
William Shakespeare
But I remember now I am in this earthly world, where to do harm Is often laudable, to do good sometime Accounted dangerous folly.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.

This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our tongues,Was once thought honest.
William Shakespeare
The moon of Rome, chaste as the icicle that's curded by the frost from purest snow.
William Shakespeare
I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. But God be thanked. . . .
William Shakespeare
Tis in ourselves that we are thus, or thus.
William Shakespeare
But say, my lord, it were not regist'red, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.
William Shakespeare
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry.
William Shakespeare
