"He hath not eat paper, as it..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“His forward voice now is to speak well of his friend. His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract.”

“How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!”

“For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lillies that fester smell far worse than weeds.”

“It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable; it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.”

“Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement; shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole; stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.”

“If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.”

“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is good that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man, as, for example, the moon, to which is attributed the change of seasons, the progress of diseases, etc. For the chief malady of man is a restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”

“He Who Knows And Knows That He Knows Is A Wise Man - Follow Him; He Who Knows Not And Knows Not That He Knows Not Is A Fool - Shun Him”

“We make trifles of terrors,Ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge,When we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear.”
