"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
--From As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)
"He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a horse's health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath."
--From King Lear (III, vi, 19-21)
"That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman."
--The Two Gentlemen of Verona (III, i, 104-105)
"I have no other but a woman's reason:
I think him so, because I think him so."
--From The Two Gentlemen of Verona (I, ii, 23-24)
"Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps."
--From Much Ado About Nothing (III, i, 106)
"And thus I clothe my naked villany
With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."
--From King Richard III (I, iii, 336-33 cool
"I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?"
--From The Merchant of Venice (III, i, 60-63)
"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."
--From The Merchant of Venice (V, i, 83-85)
"Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind."
--From A Midsummer Night's Dream (I, i, 234)
"Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once."
--From Julius Caesar (II, ii, 32-37)
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
--From Julius Caesar (III, ii, 78-79)
"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."
--From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
"To be or not to be, --that is the question:--
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
-- From Hamlet (III, i, 56-61)
