By their rank thoughts, my deeds must not be shown,
Unless this general evil they maintain:
All men are bad, and in their badness reign.
(Sonnet 121: Tis Better To Be Vile Than Vile Esteemed)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Pray you, who does the wolf love?William Shakespeare
Even for the service that long since I did thee,
When I bestrid thee in the wars, and took
Deep scars to save thy life; even for the blood
That then I lost for thee, now grant me justice.
William Shakespeare
Though those who are betrayed do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe.
William Shakespeare
And when mine oratory drew toward end
I bid them that did love their country's good
Cry 'God save Richard, England's royal King!
William Shakespeare
Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.
William Shakespeare
Which thing to do,
If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trace
For his quick hunting, stand the putting on,
I'll have our Michael Cassio on the hip,
Abuse him to the Moor in the rank garb
(For I fear Cassio with my nightcap too),
Make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me
For making him egregiously an ass
And practicing upon his peace and quiet
Even to madness.
William Shakespeare
