How well he's read, to reason against reading!
William Shakespeare
Image
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
Image
Plenty and peace breed cowards hardness ever of hardiness is mother.
William Shakespeare
Image
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare

I'll make death love me for I will contend Even with his pestilent scythe.

My love is thine to teach teach it but how, And thou shalt see how apt it is to learn. Any hard lesson that may do thee good.
William Shakespeare

He is the most wretched of men who has never felt adversity.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but ay, And that bare vowel ay shall poison more Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice. I am not I,if there be such an ay, Or those eyes shut,that make thee answer ay: If he be slain say ay,or if not,no: Brief sounds,determine of my weal or woe.
William Shakespeare
Image
I pray you, do not fall in love with me, for I am falser than vows made in wine.
William Shakespeare
Image
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.
William Shakespeare

Of all the flowers, me thinks a rose is best.
William Shakespeare
Image
You speak an infinite deal of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day, As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by-and-by black night doth take away.
