William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest, Lend less than thou owest.
William Shakespeare
Thanks, sir all the rest is mute.
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
William Shakespeare
I'll take thy word for faith, not ask thine oath Who shuns not to break one will sure crack both.
William Shakespeare
You wear out a good wholesome forenoon in hearing a cause between an orange wife and a fosset-seller.
