William Shakespeare
Still constant is a wondrous excellence.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
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
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
William Shakespeare
O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavor be so loved, and the performance so loathed?
William Shakespeare
Do not give dalliance too much rein the strongest oaths are straw to the fire in the blood.
William Shakespeare
Oh, injurious love, that respites me a life, whose very comfort is still a dying horror
