Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none. This above all: to thine own self be true. No legacy is so rich as honesty. Brevity is the soul of wit
Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant.
Do not cast away an honest man for a villain's accusation.
If she be not honest, chaste, and true, there's no man happy.
Love thyself last, cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty.
What's the news? None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest, Then is doomsday near.
For honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar.
An honest man, sir, is able to speak for himself, when a knave is not.
Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
Unthread the bold eye of rebellion,And welcome home again discarded faith.
Why so large a cost, having so short a lease, does thou upon your fading mansion spend?
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; When little fears grow great, great love grows there.
I swear again, I would not be a queen For all the world.
My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon's tail, and my nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows, I am roughand lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing.
