Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I never saw true beauty till this night
I have lov'd her ever since I saw her; and still I see her beautiful
I came, saw, and overcame.
Full of wise saws and modern instances.
O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer!
I may justly say with the hook-nosed fellow of Rome, "I came, saw and overcame".
Faith, I ran when I saw others run.
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows
Every one can master a grief but he that has it
The blood more stirsTo rouse a lion than to start a hare!
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
Striving to be better, oft we mar what's well.
