"Be not thy tongue thy own shame's..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with thatAnd manage it against despairing thoughts.”

“Who is Silvia What is she, That all our swains commend her Holy, fair, and wise is she.”

“One fire burns out another's burning, One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish.”

“Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.”

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“Time cools, time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours. When you make a decision to "be" a particular way, you can count on change and external circumstances to come along which will challenge that decision. Remain vigilant after declaring a major decision and manage yourself in relationship to the goal. Set up structures that support you staying on target.”

“It is as important to cultivate your silence power as your word power.”

“I was stupid enough to think that we ought to speak the truth about each person eulogised, and to make this the foundation, and from these truths to choose the most beautiful things and arrange them in the most elegant way; and I was quite proud to think how well I should speak, because I believed that I knew the truth.”

“Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.”
