William Shakespeare
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions.
William Shakespeare
I would fain die a dry death.
William Shakespeare
A very little thief of occasion will rob you of a great deal of patience.
William Shakespeare
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name such tricks hath strong imagination.
William Shakespeare
The will of man is by his reason sway'd.
William Shakespeare
