His jest will savour but of shallow wit, When thousands weep, more than did laugh at it.
William ShakespeareBut I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
William ShakespeareNay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast but thy good spirits To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
William ShakespeareProphet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
