If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
The best is yet to come.
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Your lips are like wine, and I want to get drunk.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won. When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learnt to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on. And when I mastered the art of hating, somebody started loving me.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
There are three people in yourself:Who people think you are, Who you think you are, and who you really are.
If we are true to ourselves, we can not be false to anyone.
