"Downy sleep, death's counterfeit...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly; swear not; commit not with man's sworn spouse; set not thy sweet heart on proud array. * * * Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books.”

“Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.”

“Nature, as it grows again toward earth, is fashioned for the journey, dull and heavy.”

“Fatigue is the safest sleeping draught.”

“What early tongue so sweet saluteth me? Young son, it argues a distemper'd head So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie; But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.”

“I sleep in the nude but I pull the sheets up.”

“How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?”

“It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind.”

“I think it is better for all people to live on, to look forward to the next stage (after death), as if he had to spend centuries, then he lives properly... looking forward to the great adventure ahead, then he lives!”
