“There‘s not a note of mine that‘s worth the nothing“

“He that loves to be flattered is worthy o‘ the flatterer“

“Nothing can come of nothing“

“sweet are the uses of adversity which,like the toad, ugly and venomous,wears yet a precious jewel in his head“

“The fashion of the world is to avoid cost,and you encounter it“

“like as the waves make towards the pebbi‘d shore, so do our minutes,hasten to their end“

“life‘s but a walking shadow, a poor player. that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,and then is heard no more; it is tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing“

“love all, trust a few, do wrong to none“

“speak low, if you speak love“

“ o! let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; i would not be mad!“
