"I have thought some of Nature's journeymen..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“I have touch'd the highest point of all my greatness, And from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting.”

“This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this EnglandThis nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,. . .This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.”

“Poor and content, is rich and rich enough; But riches, fineless, is as poor as winter, To him that ever fears he shall be poor.”

“Men are marked from the moment of birth to rule or be ruled.”

“A true man hates no one.”

“He is lifeless that is faultless.”

“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.”

“Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.”

“Faultless in spite of all her faults.”
