Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

You may my glories and my state depose,
But not my griefs; still am I king of those.

Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true, 85
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!
