"Alack, there lies more peril in thine..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Then others for breath of words respect, Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.”

“Every man has business and desire, Such as it is.”

“Yet but three come one more. Two of both kinds make up four. Ere she comes curst and sad. Cupid is a knavish lad. Thus to make poor females mad.”

“No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.”

“I am convinced that human nature is basically affectionate and good. If our behavior follows our kind and loving nature, immense benefits will result, not only for ourselves, but also for the society to which we belong. I generally refer to this sort of love and affection as a universal religion. Everyone needs it, believers as much as non-believers. This attitude constitutes the very basis of morality.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

“Power is not alluring to pure minds.”

“When a government becomes powerful it is destructive, extravagant and violent; it is an usurer which takes bread from innocent mouths and deprives honorable men of their substance, for votes with which to perpetuate itself.”
