Every why has a wherefore.
As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark...so many a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
If wishes would prevail with me, my purpose should not fail with me.
The extreme parts of time extremely forms all causes to the purpose of his speed.
What to ourselves in passion we propose, The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
It is the purpose that makes strong the vow; But vows to every purpose must not hold.
Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose you resolved to effect.
My purpose is, indeed, a horse of that color.
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
When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though know she lies
Done to death by slanderous tongue
