Strong reasons make strong actions let us go If you say ay, the king will not say no.
William Shakespeare
So we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies.
William Shakespeare
You have her father's love, Demetrius Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
William Shakespeare
The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand.
William Shakespeare
But say, my lord, it were not regist'red, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.
William Shakespeare
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
William Shakespeare
If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
William Shakespeare
To be a well-favoured man is the gift of fortune but to write and read comes by nature.
William Shakespeare
To think but nobly of my grandmother: Good wombs have borne bad sons.
William Shakespeare
Would it not grieve a woman to be over-mastered by a piece of valiant dust? to make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marle?
William Shakespeare
Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws.
William Shakespeare
