Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

Ay me! for aught that ever I could read,
could ever hear by tale or history,
the course of true love never did run smooth.

For man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.

A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with light weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.

His life was gentle; and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN! - William Shakespeare
