"Never shame to hear what you have..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front;And now, instead of mounting barbed steedsTo fright the souls of fearful adversaries,He capers nimbly in a lady's chamberTo the lascivious pleasing of a lute.”

“I must be cruel only to be kind; Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.”

“Tell them, that, to ease them of their griefs, Their fear of hostile strokes, their aches, losses, Their pangs of love, with other incident throes That nature's fragile vessel doth sustain In life's uncertain voyage, I will some kindness do them.”

“My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.”

“Is not wounded vanity the mother of all tragedies?”

“Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.”

“Not gold, but only man can make a people great and strong; men who, for truth and honor's sake, stand fast and suffer long.”

“But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.”

“I have not lost the hope that the masses will refuse to bow to the Moloch of war but they will rely upon their own capacity for suffering to save their country's honour.”
