"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 dat."

"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."

"This was the noblest Roman of them all."

"The course of true love never did run smooth."

"Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet."

But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;

"Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."

"Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving."

"A good heart is the sun and the moon; or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes."
