William Shakespeare

Apr 23, 1564 - Apr 23, 1616

There's small choice in rotten apples.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.

Mend when thou canst; be better at thy leisure.

Time ... thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.

What seest thou elseIn the dark backward and abysm of time?

Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.

Grief makes one hour ten.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

Hide not thy poison with such sugar'd words.

Hanging and wiving goes by destiny.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.

Wisdom cries out in the streets, and no man regards it.

He is not great who is not greatly good.

The best is yet to come.

Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

Lechery, lechery; still, wars and lechery: nothing else holds fashion.
