“Mere prattle without practice”

“Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.”

“Which dreams, indeed, are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”

“Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.”

“Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done.”

“Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history,is second childishness and mere oblivion.I am sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”

“All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.”
