All things are ready, if our minds be so.
All the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts.
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
All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players.
All these woes shall serveFor sweet discourses in our time to come.
All that glisters is not gold.Often you have heard that told:Many a man his life hath soldBut my outside to behold:Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
The undiscovered country form whose born no traveler returns.
These high wild hills and rough uneven waysDraw out our miles and make them wearisome;But yet your fair discourse hath been as sugar,Making the hard way sweet and delectable.
All is not well;I doubt some foul play.
All is but toys: renown, and grace, is dead; The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of
All the infections that the sun sucks upFrom bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall, and make himBy inch-meal a disease!
And give to dust that is a little gilt More laud than gilt o'er-dusted
And I did laugh sans intermission an hour by his dial. O noble fool, a worthy fool -- motley's the only wear.
The jury, passing on the prisoner's life, may in the sworn twelve have a thief or two guiltier than him they try
