William Shakespeare
My tongue will tell the anger of mine heart, Or else my heart, concealing it, will break.
William ShakespeareThe rest is silence.
William ShakespeareSimply the thing that I am shall make me live.
William ShakespeareWhen sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions.
William ShakespeareThose that are good manners at the court are as ridiculous in the country, as the behavior of the country is most mockable at the court.

William ShakespeareHow many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over In states unborn and accents yet unknown!

William ShakespeareCowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
William ShakespeareWe know what we are, but know not what we may be.
William ShakespeareOur revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.

William ShakespeareSee first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely; do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.
William ShakespeareBut, for my own part, it was Greek to me.
William ShakespeareEvery man has business and desire, Such as it is.
