William Shakespeare
Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
William Shakespeare
Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace. Leave gormandizing.
William Shakespeare
In sooth I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me, you say it wearies you But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn.

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lillies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
Virtue's office never breaks men's troth.
William Shakespeare
Woe to that land that's governed by a child.
William Shakespeare
It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him it sets him on and it takes him off.
William Shakespeare
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
William Shakespeare
Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, The folded meaning of your words' deceit.
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
The loyalty, well held to fools, does make Our faith mere folly.
William Shakespeare
