Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.

Live like lion. You have a single life.

O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil!

O God, that man should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!

How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

You shall more command with years than with your weapons.

Fetter strong madness in a silken thread.

The fashion wears out more apparel than the man.

She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project or affection, she is so self-endeared.

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,<br /> Men were decievers ever,-<br /> One foot in the sea and one on shore,<br /> To one thing constant never.

Speak low if you speak love.

Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself, And...

Do not banish reason for inequality; but let your reason serve to make the truth appear where it seems hid, and hide the false seems true

Though music oft hath such a charm to make bad good, and good provoke to harm.

Thou hast nor youth nor age, but, as it were, an after-dinner's sleep, dreaming on both.

There is a devilish mercy in the judge, if you'll implore it, that will free your life, but fetter you till death.
