"I do not hate a proud man,..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Sweetest nut hath sourest rind.”

“Take pains. Be perfect.”

“O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, And hush'd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, Than in the perfum'd chambers of the great, Under the canopies of costly state, And lull'd with sound of sweetest melody?”

“As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.”

“If light can come out of darkness, then alone can love emerge from hatred.”

“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.”

“To be proud of knowledge is to be blind with light.”

“All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.”

“One who has given up any hope of winning a fight or has clearly lost it wants his style in fighting to be admired all the more.”
