"Do not swear by the moon, for..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Love thyself last, cherish those hearts that hate thee;Corruption wins not more than honesty.”

“Away, you mouldy rogue, away!”

“O hell! to choose love with another's eye.”

“And now you ask in your heart, ‘How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * People of Orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.”

“Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.”

“The transept belfry and the two towers were to him three great cages, the birds in which, taught by him, would sing for him alone. Yet it was these same bells which had made him deaf; but mothers are often fondest of the child who has made them suffer most.”

“True love is love that stays constant for ever, whatever it's fortune; whether requited or scored, filled or sent empty away.”

“Constancy in love ... is only inconstancy confined to one object.”

“Constancy in love is a perpetual inconstancy which fixes our hearts successively to all the qualities of the person loved--sometimes admiring one and sometimes another above all the rest--so that this constancy roves as far as it can, and is no better than inconstancy, confined within the compass of one person.”
