Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends.
Love sought is good; but given unsought is better.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee!
Let life be short; else shame will be too long.
Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
If money go before, all ways do lie open.
If Love be blind — It best agrees with Night.
I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind To blow on whom I please.
I like not fair terms and a villain’s mind.
