William Shakespeare

Presume not that I am the thing I was.

William Shakespeare

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

William Shakespeare

Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear.

William Shakespeare

Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud; Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, and loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.

William Shakespeare

Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, That time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose but weep to have that which it fears to lose.

William Shakespeare

Say as you think and speak it from your souls.

William Shakespeare

See 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 Shakespeare

She that was ever fair and never proud, had tongue at will and yet was never loud.

William Shakespeare

She’s beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won.

William Shakespeare

She’s gone. I am abused, and my relief must be to loathe her.

William Shakespeare
