William Quotes

There is little proportion about either pain or pleasure: a headache darkens the universe while it lasts, a cup of tea really lightens the spirit bereft of all reasonable consolations. ~ Their Wedding Journey by William Dean Howells In a moment it had come, the first serious dispute of their wedded life. It had come as all such calamities come, from nothing, and it was on them in full disaster ere they knew. ~ Their Wedding Journey by William Dean Howells "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. Our virtues would be proud if our faults whipt them not; and our crimes would despair if they were not cherish'd by our virtues." ~ All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare "Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead: excessive grief the enemy to the living." ~ All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare "Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none." ~ All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare "What's gone and what's past help
Should be past grief." ~ The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare "The silence often of pure innocence
Persuades when speaking fails." ~ The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare "He makes a July's day short as December . . . " ~ The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare "Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!" ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
