The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The Dear father Would with his daughter speak, commands her service Are they inform'd of this?
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face.
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
