I do not know What kind of my obedience I should tender. More than my all is nothing nor my prayers Are not words holy hallowed, nor my wishes More worth than empty vanities yet prayers and wishes Are all I can return.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get.

William Shakespeare
See the minutes, how they run, How many make the hour full complete How many hours bring about the day How many days will finish up the year How many years a mortal man may live.
William Shakespeare
He does me double wrong That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.

O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love!
William Shakespeare
Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling.
William Shakespeare
Come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy, That one short minute gives me in her sight
William Shakespeare
Sweet are the uses of adversity

I am sure, Though you can guess what temperance should be, You know not what it is.
William Shakespeare
