English playwright, poet, and actor
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
They do not love that do not show their love.
It is a wise father that knows his own child.
We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
