More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A thousand moral paintings I can show That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune's More pregnantly than words.
William Shakespeare
Had it pleas'd heaven To try me with affliction * * * I should have found in some place of my soul A drop of patience.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
