William Shakespeare
Report me and my cause aright.
William Shakespeare
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
William Shakespeare
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate, Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving.
William Shakespeare
O braggart vile and damned furious wight!
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
William Shakespeare
Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
William Shakespeare
