In time we hate that which we often fear.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

If music be the food of love, play on.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

They do not love that do not show their love.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

I was adored once too.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.

The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch, which hurts and is desired.

I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.

The valiant never taste of death but once.

Death is a fearful thing.

And why not death rather than living torment? To die is to be banish'd from myself; And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her Is self from self: a deadly banishment!

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.

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

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.

God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

To do a great right do a little wrong.

Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them.

Women may fall when there's no strength in men.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end.

We are time's subjects, and time bids be gone.

Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.

Let no such man be trusted.

Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

My pride fell with my fortunes.

For I can raise no money by vile means.

Men's vows are women's traitors!

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.

Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
