Quote by -William Shakespeare

“The breaking of so great a thing should make A greater crack: the round world Should have shook lions into civil streets, And citizens to their dens.”
Quote by -William Shakespeare
A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Quote by -William Shakespeare
The robb’d that smiles, steals something from the thief; He robs himself that spends a bootless grief.
Quote by -William Shakespeare
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Quote by -William Shakespeare
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever,- One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never.

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear.

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lillies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
