"We must be gentle now we are..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“My crown is in my heart, not on my head; not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.”

“Till all grace be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.”

“Come, and take choice of all my library, And so beguile thy sorrow.”

“It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.”

“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”

“Art is in itself noble; that is why the artist has no fear of what is common. This, indeed, is already ennobled when he takes it up.”

“A gentleman makes no noise; a lady is serene.”

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”

“Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds.”
