William Shakespeare
Wait for the season when to cast good counsels upon subsiding passion.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
A man should be what he seems.
William Shakespeare
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
