Quotes by William Shakespeare…
One doth not know how much an ill word may empoison liking.
Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending.
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy:
I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
That life is better life, past fearing death,
Than that which lives to fear.
Put not yourself into amazement how these things should be: all difficulties are but easy when they are known.
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!
Thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey,
And death unloads thee.
William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
O’ it is excellent to have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
Now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass: so that by my foes, sir, I profit in the knowledge of myself, and by my friends I am abused.
