Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?
William ShakespeareWhy then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William ShakespeareTime's the king of men; he's both their parent, and he is their grave, and gives them what he will, not what they crave.
William ShakespeareO, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
William ShakespeareThat skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once: how the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were Cain's jaw-bone, that did the first murder! It might be the pate of a politician, which this ass now o'er-reaches; one that would circumvent God, might it not?
William ShakespeareBut till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good discourse, and excellent musician and her hair shall be of what colour it shall please God.
