Desperate times breed desperate measures
William Shakespeare
How many cowards whose hearts are all as false As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, Who inward searched, have livers white as milk!
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
Violent fires soon burn out themselves, small showers last long, but sudden storms are short he tires betimes that spurs too fast.
William Shakespeare
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
William Shakespeare
If the boy have not a woman's gift To rain a shower of commanded tears, An onion will do well for such a shift.

William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
I love thee none but thee, and thou deservest it
William Shakespeare
She marking them begins a wailing note And sings extemporally a woeful ditty How love makes young men thrall and old men dote How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, And still the choir of echoes answer so.
William Shakespeare
Olivia: What's a drunken man like, fool? Feste: Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool the second mads him and a third drowns him.
William Shakespeare
Small things make base men proud.
William Shakespeare
He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.
William Shakespeare
An habitation giddy and unsure Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
William Shakespeare
Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colours wave! And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
O, she's warm! If this be magic, let it be an art Lawful as eating.
William Shakespeare
Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.
William Shakespeare
If yon bethink yourself of any crime Unreconcil'd as yet to heaven and grace, Solicit for it straight.
William Shakespeare
