from William Shakespeare – With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come

double, toil and trouble;
Fire

“Let
me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit
impediments. Love is not love
Which
alters when it alteration finds,
Or
bends with the remover to remove.
O
no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That
looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It
is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose
worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's
not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within
his bending sickle's compass come;
Love
alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But
bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If
this be error and upon me proved,
I
never writ, nor no man ever loved.”

William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

doubts are traitors,
and
make us lose the good we oft might win,
by
fearing to attempt.”

“All
that glisters is not gold;
Often
have you heard that told:
Many
a man his life hath sold
But
my outside to behold:
Gilded
tombs do worms enfold.”

“Dispute
not with her: she is lunatic.”

“Sigh
no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men
were deceivers ever,
One foot
in sea, and one on shore,
To
one thing constant never.
Then
sigh not so, but let them go,
And
be you blithe and bonny,
Converting
all your sounds of woe
Into
hey nonny, nonny.
Sing
no more ditties, sing no more
Of
dumps so dull and heavy.
The
fraud of men was ever so
Since
summer first was leafy.
Then
sigh not so, but let them go,
And
be you blithe and bonny,
Converting
all your sounds of woe
Into
hey, nonny, nonny.”

William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
“Though
this be madness, yet there is method in't.”

this night.”

“Shall
I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou
art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough
winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And
summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometimes
too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And
too often is his gold complexion dimm'd:
And
every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By
chance or natures changing course untrimm'd;
By
thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor
lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor
shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When
in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So
long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So
long lives this and this gives life to thee.”
―
William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
“Give
sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and
bids it break.”
―
William Shakespeare, Macbeth

not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. then your love would also
change.”
―
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
