"Your tale, sir, would cure deafness...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“But now I am cabined, cribbed, confined, bound in To saucy doubts and fears.”

“Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,And for thy maintenance commits his bodyTo painful labour both by sea and land,To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;And craves no other tribute at thy handsBut love, fair looks and true obedience;Too little payment for so great a debt.”

“Though I be but prince of Wales, yet I am the king of courtesy.”

“When the vain speaker has sat down, and the people say 'what a good speech,' it still takes an ounce to balance an ounce.”

“The language of the street is always strong.”

“Men of few words are the best men." (3.2.41)”

“Too many girls follow the line of least resistance, but a good line is hard to resist.”

“There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment; and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so; because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.”

“Thus rhetoric, it seems, is a producer of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in the matter of right and wrong ... And so the rhetorician's business is not to instruct a law court or a public meeting in matters of right and wrong, but only to make them believe.”
