Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
Shakespeare, William
Children's literature; Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Stories, plots, etc. -- Juvenile literature
A woman impudent and mannish grown
Is not more loathed than an effeminate man.
Troilus and Cressida -- III. 3.
WORDS.
Words without thoughts
never to heaven go.
Hamlet -- III. 3.
Few words shall fit the trespass best,
Where no excuse can give the fault amending.
Troilus and Cressida -- III. 2.
WORLDLY CARE.
You have too much respect upon the world:
They lose it, that do buy it with much care.
Merchant of Venice -- I. 1.
WORLDLY HONORS.
Not a man, for being simply man,
Hath any honor; but honor for those honors
That are without him, as place, riches, favor,
Prizes of accident as oftas merit;
Which when they fall, as being slippery standers,
The love that leaned on them, as slippery too,
Do one pluck down another, and together
Die in the fall. But 'tis not so with me.
Troilus and Cressida -- III. 3.
