Therefore was i created with a stubborn outside, with an aspect of iron, that when i come to woo ladies, i fright them. but, in faith, kate, the elder i wax, the better i shall appear. my comfort is that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face. thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst, and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better.

William Shakespeare

Therefore was i created with a stubborn outside, with an aspect of iron, that when i come to woo ladies, i fright them. but, in faith, kate, the elder i wax, the better i shall appear. my comfort is that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face. thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst, and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better.

More From William Shakespeare

You lie, in faith; for you are call'd plain kate, and bonny kate and sometimes kate the curst; but kate, the prettiest kate in christendom kate of kate hall, my super-dainty kate, for dainties are all kates, and therefore, kate, take this of me, kate of my consolation; hearing thy mildness praised in every town, thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded, yet not so deeply as to thee belongs, myself am moved to woo thee for my wife.

Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.

First shalt thou take out the holy pin. then shalt thou count to three, no more-no less. three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. five is right out. once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

The eighth commandment reads, "thou shalt not steal." it does not read, "thou shalt not steal from the rich man." it does not read, "thou shalt not steal from the poor man." it reads simply and plainly, "thou shalt not steal."

All of the ten commandments that are good were old; all that were new art foolish. if jehovah had been civilized he would have left out the commandment about keeping the sabbath, and in its place would have said: "thou shalt not enslave thy fellow-men." he would have omitted the one about swearing, and said: "the man shall have but one wife, and the woman but one husband." he would have left out the one about graven images, and in its stead would have said: "thou shalt not wage wars of extermination, and thou shalt not unsheathe the sword except in self-defence.

As there is no worldly gain without some loss, so there is no worldly loss without some gain; if thou hast lost thy wealth, thou hast lost some trouble with it; if thou art degraded from thy honor, thou art likewise freed from the stroke of envy; if sickness hath blurred thy beauty, it hath delivered thee from pride. set the allowance against the loss, and thou shalt find no loss great; he loses little or nothing, that reserves himself.
