William Shakespeare
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
William Shakespeare
Nay, we must think men are not gods, Nor of them look for such observancy As fits the bridal.
William Shakespeare
What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs?

Farewell! a long farewell to all my greatness!
William Shakespeare
