“For there was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently.”

“She that was ever fair and never proud,Had tongue at will and yet was never loud,Never lack'd gold and yet went never gay,Fled from her wish and yet said 'Now I may,'She that being anger'd, her revenge being nigh,Bade her wrong stay and her displeasure fly,She that in wisdom never was so frailTo change the cod's head for the salmon's tail;She that could think and ne'er disclose her mind,See suitors following and not look behind,She was a wight, if ever such wight were,--DESDEMONA: To do what?IAGO: To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.”

“Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.”

“I never yet did hear, That the bruis'd heart was pierced through the ear”

“He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.”

“A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.”

“Ay me! for aught that ever I could read,could ever hear by tale or history,the course of true love never did run smooth.”
