For, now he has crack'd the league
Between us and the Emperor, the Queen's great nephew,
He dives into the King's soul and there scatters
Dangers, doubts, wringing of the conscience,
Fears, and despairs-and all these for his marriage;
And out of all these to restore the King,
He counsels a divorce, a loss of her
That like a jewel has hung twenty years
About his neck, yet never lost her lustre;
Of her that loves him with that excellence
That angels love good men with; even of her
That, when the greatest stroke of fortune falls,
Will bless the King-and is not this course pious?
(King Henry The Eighth)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Some men there are love not a gaping pig;Some that are mad if they behold a cat;
And others, when the bagpipe sings i' th' nose,
Cannot contain their urine; for affection,
Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood
Of what it likes or loathes.
William Shakespeare
Well, Time is the old justice that examines all such
offenders, and let Time try.
William Shakespeare
Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law.
William Shakespeare
Merrily, merrily shall I live now,Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
William Shakespeare
I promise you my soul is very jocund
In the remembrance of so fair a dream.
William Shakespeare
'Confess' and 'love'
Had been the very sum of my confession.
William Shakespeare

I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, "I'm back." I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know.
Kim Clijsters
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
Elizabeth Bowen
Guard your roving thoughts with a jealous care, for speech is but the dialer of thoughts, and every fool can plainly read in your words what is the hour of your thoughts.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
