Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

Master, go on, and I will follow thee
To the last gasp with truth and loyalty.

He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need:
If thou sorrow, he will weep;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep:
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.

So fair and foul a day I have not seen.

Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity. - William Shakespeare
