“Anything that's mended is but patched. Virtue that transgresses is but patched with sin, and sin that amends is but patched with virtue”
William Shakespeare, The Norton Shakespeare, Based on the Oxford Edition: Comedies
“Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it, Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion.”
William Shakespeare, The Complete Comedies
“No, precious creature: I had rather crack my sinews, break my back, Than you should such dishonour undergo, While I sit lazy by.”
William Shakespeare, The Complete Comedies of William Shakespeare: All's Well That Ends Well; As You Like It; The Comedy Of Errors; Love's Labour's Lost; Measure For Measure; The Merchant Of Venice
