More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Ambition's like a circle on the water, Which never ceases to enlarge itself, 'Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.William Shakespeare
She dying, as it must be so maintain'd,
Upon the instant that she was accus'd,
Shall be lamented, pitied, and excus'd
Of every hearer; for it so falls out
That what we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lack'd and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.
William Shakespeare

And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent.
William Shakespeare
