"A gentleman that loves to hear himself..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Where the bee sucks, there suck I In the cow-slip's bell i lie There I couch when owls do cry”

“Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,Pale in her anger washes all the air,That rheumatic diseases do abound;And through this distemperature we seeThe seasons alter: hoary-headed frostsFall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.”

“I love you more than word can wield the matter, Dearer than eye-sight, space and liberty”

“Lord Bacon told Sir Edward Coke when he was boasting, The less you speak of your greatness, the more shall I think of it.”

“Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.”

“Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth.”

“Over-sentimentality, over-softness, in fact washiness and mushiness are the great dangers of this age and of this people. Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.”

“The wise man can change his mind; the stubborn one, never.”

“The habit of taking the line of least resistance makes all rivers and some men crooked.”
