I know myself now; and I feel within me A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience
A peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
In my stars I am above thee, but be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness ;thrust upon em.
Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial
It were all oneThat I should love a bright particular starAnd to think to wed it, he is so above me.
To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet
When our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors

Done to death by slanderous tongue
Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
There is plenty of time to sleep in the grave
Seek happy nights to happy days.W
