"Patch grief with proverbs...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Nice customs curtsy to great kings.”

“Did he so often lodge in open field, In winter's cold and summer's parching heat, To conquer France, his true inheritance?”

“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.”

“When someone dies, it is like when your house burns down; it isn't for years that you realize the full extent of your loss.”

“Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off ... Do not for ever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust.”

“I know what it's like to see one's mother go through the agony of death and be unable to help; there is no consolation. We all have to bear such heavy burdens, for they are unalterably linked to life.”

“Every drunken skipper trusts to Providence. But one of the ways of Providence with drunken skippers is to run them on the rocks.”

“Only by working within the laws that govern the flow of water will happiness be achieved.”

“If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?”
