View Plans“ ”This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practise
As full of labour as a wise man's art
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.

Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

One pain is lessened by another’s anguish. ... Take thou some new infection to thy eye, And the rank poison of the old will die.
I long to hear the story of your life, which must captivate the ear strangely.
