William Shakespeare Troilus And Cressida Quotes & Sayings

He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle. — William Shakespeare

Cressida: My lord, will you be true?
Troilus: Who, I? Alas, it is my vice, my fault:
Whiles others fish with craft for great opinion,
I with great truth catch mere simplicity;
Whilst some with cunning gild their copper crowns,
With truth and plainness I do wear mine bare.
Fear not my truth: the moral of my wit
Is "plain and true"; there's all the reach of it. — William Shakespeare

Thou sodden-witted lord! thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows. — William Shakespeare

Would the fountain of your mind were clear again,
that I might water an ass at it! — William Shakespeare
