Quotes by William Shakespeare…
There is no darkness but ignorance.
Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
‘Tis well, ’tis well; no more: Be not as extreme in submission as in offence.
Who by repentance is not satisfied,
Is nor of heaven nor earth;
for these are pleased.
Truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
Let us not burden our remembrance with a heaviness that’s gone.
Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
Shall we serve heaven with less respect than we do minister to our gross selves?
Let me be ignorant, and in nothing good,
But graciously to know I am no better.
The silence often of pure innocence
Persuades when speaking fails.
