Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
(Sonnet 65: Since Brass, Nor Stone, Nor Earth, Nor Boundless Sea)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:

All is the fear and nothing is the love;
As little is the wisdom, where the flight
So runs against all reason.

Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste;
These vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear,
And of this book, this learning mayst thou taste.

In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,
Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love
Over the nasty sty!
