William Shakespeare


Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.


There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.


Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

What is past is prologue.
