No, not till a hot January.
Beatrice
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more. Men were deceivers ever. One foot in sea and one on shore, to one thing constant never. Then sigh not so but let them go and be you blithe and bonny, converting all your sounds of woe into hey nonny nonny.
Beatrice
The count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well; but civil count, civil as an orange, and something of that jealous complexion.
Beatrice
You always end with a jade's trick. I know you of old.
Beatrice
I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage: but doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
Benedick
Is't come to this? In faith, hath not the world one man but he will wear his cap with suspicion? Shall I never see a bachelor of three-score again?
Benedick
I would my horse had the speed of your tongue.
Benedick
That a woman conceived me, I thank her; that she brought me up, I likewise give her most humble thanks: but that I will have a recheat winded in my forehead, or hang my bugle in an invisible baldrick, all women shall pardon me.
William Shakespeare
The world must be peopled!
William Shakespeare
Friendship is constant in all other things, save in the office and affairs of love.
William Shakespeare
In mine eye she is the sweetest lady that ever I looked on.
Claudio
Lady, as you are mine, I am yours.
Claudio
Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this.
Dogberry
O Lord, my lord, if they were but a week married, they would talk themselves mad.
Leonato
