William Arthur Ward Poem
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

William ShakespeareLove is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

William ShakespeareSweet-and-Twenty
O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear! your true love 's coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What 's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet-and-twenty!
Youth 's a stuff will not endure.
To do a great right do a little wrong.
William ShakespeareOh, what a bitter thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
William ShakespeareLove comforteth like sunshine after rain.
William ShakespeareIf music be the food of love, play on.
William ShakespeareThink in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
William BlakeBe not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
William ShakespeareThe man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare
