"Bounty, being free itself, thinks all others..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“He that is truly dedicated to war hath no self-love”

“And thou, all-shaking thunder,Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at onceThat makes ingrateful man!”

“How wayward is this foolish love that, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse and presently, all humble, kiss the rod.”

“Do any deserve liberty who are not ready to give it to others? Let us calmly go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary fretting and fuming.”

“Generosity wins favour for everyone, especially when it is accompanied by modesty.”

“Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.”

“It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.”

“When the sun is covered by clouds, objects are less conspicuous, because there is little difference between the light and shade of the trees and the buildings being illuminated by the brightness of the atmosphere which surrounds the objects in such a way that the shadows are few, and these few fade away so that their outline is lost in haze.”

“Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.”
