Sweet are the uses of adversityWhich, like the toad, ugly and venomous,Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.

Aunque me falte zalameríay labia para hablar sin cumplir lo dicho,aunque mis obras precedan siemprea mis palabras, haced saberque no es baldón,crimen ni vicio,lujuria desatada o deshonra algunala que me priva de vuestro favor,sino una...

Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell content!Farewell the plumed troop and the big warsThat make ambition virtue!

O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love!

Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life’s but a...

thus with a kiss I die

All things that we ordained festival,Turn from their office to black funeral;Our instruments to melancholy bells,Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast,Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change,Our bridal flowers serve for a buried...

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,For as you were when first your eye I ey’d, Such seems your beauty still.

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;But do not dull thy palm with entertainmentOf each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade.

The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not...

If 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 nightThat, in...

Boldness be my friend.

Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves,And ye that on the sands with printless footDo chase the ebbing Neptune and do fly himWhen he comes back; you demi-puppets thatBy moonshine do the green...

DEMETRIUSRelent, sweet Hermia: and, Lysander, yieldThy crazed title to my certain right.LYSANDERYou have her father’s love, Demetrius;Let me have Hermia’s: do you marry him.

Betänk det här: all ungdom för sig själv en fara är.

He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.

Frailty, thy name is woman!—A little month, or ere those shoes were oldWith which she follow’d my poor father’s body,Like Niobe, all tears:—

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep; the more I give to thee,The more I have, for both are infinite.

No donde come, sino donde es comido. Cierta asamblea de gusanos políticos está ahora con él. El gusano es el único emperador de la dieta; nosotros cebamos a todos los demás animales para engordarnos, y...

Mislike me not for my complexion,The shadowed livery of the burnished sun,To whom I am a neighbor and near bred.Bring me the fairest creature northward born,Where Phoebus’ fire scarce thaws the icicles,And let us make...

It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.

Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile;Filths savour but themselves…

And since you know you cannot see yourself,so well as by reflection, I, your glass,will modestly discover to yourself,that of yourself which you yet know not of.

Alack, when once our grace we have forgot,Nothing goes right; we would and we would not.

O ill-starred wench! Pale as your smock!

This above all: To your own self, be true.

Exceeds man’s might: that dwells with the gods above.

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!

All the world’s a stage.

[Thou] mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms!

The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;Or close the wall up with our English dead!In peace there’s nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility:But when the blast of war blows in...

A blind man can’t forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?

They do not love, that do not show their love.

The commonwealth is sick of their own choice;Their over-greedy love has surfeited.An habitation giddy and unsureHath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.

The grief that does not speak whispers the o’erfraught heart and bids it break.

He is as full of valor as of kindness. Princely in both.

He that commends me to mine own contentCommends me to the thing I cannot get.I to the world am like a drop of waterThat in the ocean seeks another drop,Who, falling there to find his...

Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

The time approachesThat will with due decision make us knowWhat we shall say we have and what we owe.Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,But certain issue strokes must arbitrate;Towards which, advance the war.They exit marching.

Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.

I pray you, do not fall in love with me, for I am falser than vows made in wine.

JAQUES: Rosalind is your love’s name?ORLANDO: Yes, just.JAQUES: I do not like her name.ORLANDO: There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.

But if it be a sin to covet honour,I am the most offending soul alive.

She gave me for my pains a world of sighs.
