Quotes

  • The divinity that shapes our ends.
  • To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold, Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd, In process of the seasons have I seen, Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd, Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. Ah! yet doth beauty, like a dial-hand, Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd; So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand, Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd. For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred: Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.
  • A man of great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage.
