Didst thou never hear

That things ill got, had ever bad success?

King Henry VI

A little fire is quickly trodden out;
Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench.

King Henry VI

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind;
The thief doth fear each bush an officer.

King Henry VI

Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge, the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. King Henry VI True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures, kings.

'Tis better to be lowly born,

King Richard III

And range with humble livers in content,

Than to be perked up in a glistering grief,
And wear a golden sorrow.

King Henry VIII

Press not a falling man too far.

King Henry VIII

Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues we write in water.

King Henry VIII

Welcome ever smiles, and Farewell goes out sighing.

Troilus and Cressida

Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.

Titus Andronicus

He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

Romeo and Juliet

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

Julius Cæsar

For my own part, I shall be glad to learn of noble men.

Julius Cæsar

Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Julius Cæsar

A friend should bear a friend's infirmities.

Julius Cæsar

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

Come what may,

Julius Cæsar

Time and the hour run through the roughest day.

Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel.

Hamlet

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions.

Hamlet

Words without thoughts never to heaven go.

This above all, to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Hamlet

Hamlet

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

Hamlet

Obey thy parents; keep thy word justly; swear

How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

Good name in man or woman

Is the immediate jewel of their souls:

Othello

Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something,

nothing;

'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thou

sands:

But he that filches from me my good name,

Robs me of that which not enriches him,

And makes me poor indeed.

Othello

We bring forth weeds when our quick minds lie

still.

Antony and Cleopatra

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them.

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper light

and

Twelfth Night

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

And oftentimes excusing of a fault

King John

Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.

King, John

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

King Henry IV

King Henry V

Self-love is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.

There is some soul of goodness in things evil,
Would men observingly distil it out.

King Henry V

My crown is in my heart, not on my head,
Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones,
Nor to be seen. My crown is called content:
A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

King Henry VI

It is but a base, ignoble mind that mounts no higher than a bird can soar.

King Henry VI

King Henry VI

What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted?

Didst thou never hear

That things ill got, had ever bad success?

King Henry VI

A little fire is quickly trodden out;
Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench.

King Henry VI

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind;
The thief doth fear each bush an officer.
