"Done to death by slanderous tongue..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Love thrives not in the heart that shadows dreadeth”

“After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.”

“The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long.”

“That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect,For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;The ornament of beauty is suspect,A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.”

“The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at.”

“No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.”

“A man known to us only as a celebrity in politics or in trade, gains largely in our esteem if we discover that he has some intellectual taste or skill.”

“Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses - once.”

“Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have messed with? That's me.”
