William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

I have heard of your paintings too, well enough God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and nick-name God's creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, I'll no more on't it hath made me mad.
William Shakespeare
Image
A man cannot make him laugh - but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.

I was adored once too.
William Shakespeare
Image
All the contagion of the south light on you, You shames of Rome! you herd of--boils and plagues Plaster you o'er that you may be abhorr'd Further than seen, and one infect another Against the wind a mile!
William Shakespeare
Image
O, had I but followed the arts!
William Shakespeare
Image
Mine honour is my life both grow in one Take honour from me, and my life is done.
William Shakespeare
Image
The painful warrior famous for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil'd, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
