William Shakespeare ( 10 of 368 )
I know myself now, and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still read more
I know myself now, and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,
And bitter shame hath spoiled the sweet world's taste,
That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
