A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity; but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
William ShakespeareThou ever young, fresh, lov'd, and delicate wooer, whose blush doth thaw the consecrated snow
William ShakespeareIAGO: She that was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will and yet was never loud, Never lack'd gold and yet went never gay, Fled from her wish and yet said 'Now I may,' She that being anger'd, her revenge being nigh, Bade her wrong stay and her displeasure fly, She that in wisdom never was so frail To change the cod's head for the salmon's tail; She that could think and ne'er disclose her mind, See suitors following and not look behind, She was a wight, if ever such wight were,-- DESDEMONA: To do what? IAGO: To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.
William ShakespeareWho buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sell eternity to get a toy? For one grape who will the vine destroy?
