Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.
William Shakespeare
Why, courage then! what cannot be avoided 'Twere childish weakness to lament or fear.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
We have seen better days.
William Shakespeare
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear His hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear: And you all know, security Is mortals' chiefest enemy.
William Shakespeare
The will is infinite and the execution confin'd, the desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
William Shakespeare
For 'tis the sport to have the engineerHoist with his own petard.
William Shakespeare
O! that a man might know The end of this day's business, ere it come But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare
I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.
William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
