Today’s Quote by Shakespeare on a Good Heart
“A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow. But a good heart…is the sun and moon…for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps its course truly.” ~ Henry V, Act V, Scene 2
William Shakespeare
Today’s Quote by Shakespeare on Integrity
“This above all,—To thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Then canst not then be false to any man.Shakespeare
Today’s Quote by Shakespeare on Mercy
From the Merchant of Venice
The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blessed;
It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes,
Act iv. Sc. 1.
No Longer Mourn for Me ~ by Shakespeare
No Longer Mourn for Me
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Then you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it; for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
O, if, I say, you look upon this verse
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse.
But let your love even with my life decay,
Lest the wise world should look into your moan
And mock you with me after I am gone.
By: William Shakespeare
Shakespeare On Opportunity
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare.
