For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William ShakespeareIf there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness, did lay siege to it, Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream, Brief as the lightning in the collied night That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up; So quick bright things come to confusion.
William ShakespeareCorruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues.
