"He that filches from me my good..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Small things make base men proud.”

“If you shall marry, You give away this hand, and this is mine; You give away heaven's vows, and those are mine; You give away myself, which is known mine; For I by vow am so embodied yours That she which marries you must marry me-- Either both or none.”

“The play's the thing.”

“Rather than caring about whether or not you are known, strive to be worth knowing.”

“The finest woman that ever walked the streets.”

“No man gains credit for his cowardly courtesies.”

“I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others... An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.... Power is not alluring to pure minds and is not with them the primary principle of contest.”

“Lies are the greatest murder. They kill the Truth.”

“Self-respect knows no considerations.”
