"How my achievements mock me!..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“O constancy, be strong upon my side,Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue!I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.”

“Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy centre out.”

“After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.”

“My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.”

“Mystery and disappointment are not absolutely indispensable to the growth of love, but they are, very often, its powerful auxiliaries.”

“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.”

“Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education.”

“When we do not know a person - and also when we do - we have to judge his size by the size and nature of his achievements, as compared with the achievements of others in his special line of business - there is no other way.”

“Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.”
