William Shakespeare
Image
The pow'r that I have on you is to spare you The malice towards you to forgive you.
William Shakespeare
Image
When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.
William Shakespeare
Image
Trust not my reading, nor my observations, Which with experimental seal do warrant The tenor of my book.
William Shakespeare
Image
Retire me to my Milan, where Every third thought shall be my grave.

You are made Rather to wonder at the things you hear Than to work any.
William Shakespeare
Image
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare
Image
Well, God give them wisdom that have it and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
William Shakespeare
Image
Be stirring as the time be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
Image
The mind of guilt is full of scorpions.
William Shakespeare
Image
... I am At war 'twixt will and will not.
William Shakespeare
Image
The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen As is the razor's edge invisible.
William Shakespeare
Image
If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?
William Shakespeare
Image
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare

whats here a cup closed in my true loves hand poisin i see hath been his timeless end. oh churl drunk all and left no friendly drop to help me after. i will kiss thy lips some poisin doth hang on them, to help me die with a restorative. thy lips are warm. yea noise then ill be brief oh happy dagger this is thy sheath. there rust and let me die.
