“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“It is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. Loss of virginity is rational increase, and there was never virgin got till virginity was first lost. That you were made of is metal to make virgins. Virginity, by being once lost, may be ten times found: by being ever kept, it is ever lost. ’Tis too cold a companion: away with ’t!”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“A young man married is a man that's marred.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“Twas a good lady, 'twas a good lady: we may pick a thousand salads ere we light on such another herb.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“He that hangs himself is a virgin: virginity murders itself, and should be buried in highways, out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the canon. Keep it not; you cannot choose but lose by’t! Out with’t! within the year it will make itself two, which is a goodly increase, and the principal itself not much the worse. Away with ’t!”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“Tis a commodity that will lose the gloss with lying; the longer kept, the less worth: off with ’t, while ’tis vendible; answer the time of request. Virginity, like an old courtier, wears her cap out of fashion; richly suited, but unsuitable: just like the brooch and the toothpick, which wear not now.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
“My poor body, madam, requires it: I am driven on by the flesh; and he must needs go that the devil drives.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
