She's beautiful, and therefore to be woo'd She is a woman, therefore to be won
Love is a wonderful, terrible thing
For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
You are made Rather to wonder at the things you hear Than to work any.
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
By being seldom seen, I could not stir But like a comet I was wondered at.
I wonder men dare trust themselves with men.
I wonder that you will still be talking. Nobody marks you.
The clamorous owl, that nightly hoots and wonders At out quaint spirits.
O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.
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!
