William Shakespeare
Image
For I can raise no money by vile means. By heaven, I had rather coin my heart, And drop my blood for drachmas
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am a subject, And I challenge law. Attorneys are denied me, And therefore personally I lay my claim To my inheritance of free descent.

William Shakespeare
Image
He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost.
William Shakespeare
Image
They whose guilt within their bosom lies, imagine every eye beholds their blame.
William Shakespeare
Image
And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, Even so by love the young and tender wit Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Losing his verdure even in the prime, And all the fair effects of future hopes.
William Shakespeare
Image
You are my true and honourable wife As dear to me as the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is the witness still of excellency to put a strange face on his own perfection.
William Shakespeare
Image
Farewell! a long farewell to all my greatness!
William Shakespeare
Image
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
Image
The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
William Shakespeare
Image
a young woman in love always looks like patience on a monument smiling at grief
William Shakespeare
Image
And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd
