William Shakespeare. (1564-1616)

Timon of Athens.

But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on,
Leaving no tract behind.

Timon of Athens. Act i. Sc. 1.

Here ’s that which is too weak to be a sinner,—honest water, which ne’er left man i’ the mire.

Timon of Athens. Act i. Sc. 2.

Immortal gods, I crave no pelf;
I pray for no man but myself;
Grant I may never prove so fond,
To trust man on his oath or bond.

Timon of Athens. Act i. Sc. 2.

Men shut their doors against a setting sun.

Timon of Athens. Act i. Sc. 2.

Every room
Hath blazed with lights and bray’d with minstrelsy.

Timon of Athens. Act ii. Sc. 2.

’T is lack of kindly warmth.

Timon of Athens. Act ii. Sc. 2.

Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.

Timon of Athens. Act iii. Sc. 1.

Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.

Timon of Athens. Act iii. Sc. 5.

We have seen better days.

Timon of Athens. Act iv. Sc. 2.

Are not within the leaf of pity writ.

Timon of Athens. Act iv. Sc. 3.

I ’ll example you with thievery:
The sun ’s a thief, and with his great attraction
Robs the vast sea; the moon ’s an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun;
The sea ’s a thief, whose liquid surge resolves
The moon into salt tears; the earth ’s a thief,
That feeds and breeds by a composture stolen
From general excrement: each thing ’s a thief.

Timon of Athens. Act iv. Sc. 3.

Life’s uncertain voyage.

Timon of Athens. Act v. Sc. 1.
