Quotes by William Shakespeare…
A true-devoted pilgrim is not weary to measure kingdoms with his feeble steps.
Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
There are more things in heaven and earth… than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
But man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep.
Sleep no more!
We lop away that bearing boughs may live.
Truth makes all things plain.
