But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes. - William Shakespeare
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. - William Shakespeare

Come, let's away to prison; We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage: When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down, And ask of thee forgiveness: so we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh, At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues, Talk of court news. - William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. - William Shakespeare

Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them. - William Shakespeare
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones. - William Shakespeare
For your brother and my sister no sooner met, but they looked; no sooner looked, but they loved; no sooner loved, but they sighed; no sooner sighed, but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy. - William Shakespeare
From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world. - William Shakespeare
