Image
And it is very much lamented,... That you have no such mirrors as will turn Your hidden worthiness into your eye That you might see your shadow.
William Shakespeare
Image
The chameleon Love can feed on the air
William Shakespeare
Image
If she be not honest, chaste, and true, there's no man happy.
William Shakespeare
Image
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .
William Shakespeare
Image
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*
William Shakespeare
Image
If I shall be condemned Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else But what your jealousies awake, I tell you 'Tis rigor and not law.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let me confess that we two must be twain, although our undivided loves are one.
William Shakespeare
Image
. . from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done.
William Shakespeare
Image
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73
William Shakespeare
Image
And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
William Shakespeare
Image
It hurts not the tongue to give fair words.
William Shakespeare
Image
Is he on his horse? O happy horse, to bear the weight of Antony!
William Shakespeare
Image
In the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear!
William Shakespeare
Image
However wickedness outstrips men, it has no wings to fly from God.
William Shakespeare
Image
I have no way and therefore want no eyes I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen our means secure us, and our mere defects prove our commodities.
William Shakespeare
Image
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
Image
Oh! that you could turn your eyes towards the napes of your necks, and make but an interior survey of your good selves.
William Shakespeare
Image
With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered And a petition granted them, a strange one, To break the heart of generosity, And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon, Shouting their emulation.
William Shakespeare
Image
The language I have learnt these forty years, My native English, now I must forgo And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp, Or like a cunning instrument cased up Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.

It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.
