Methinks I lied all winter, when I sworeMy love was infinite, if spring makes it more.

No Spring nor Summer beauty hath such grace As I have seen in one Autumnal face.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?

Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.

What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

More than kisses, letters mingle souls.

When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.

One uses power by grasping it lightly. To grasp too strongly is to be taken over by power, and thus to become its victim.

I don't have any shame.

Better to have bad news that's true than good news we made up

I'm not concerned with noise because I'm playing the long game.

Supply creates its own demand.

The kind need kindness most of all.

The very rich only admire themselves

Open your arms if you want the Beloved's embrace.

Life is too short to do mediocre work and it is definitely too short to build shitty things.

The current Eurozone is obviously dysfunctional. And serious people within Germany and elsewhere know this to be the case and know things cannot function this way forever.
