Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
~from Sonnet 116

'Truly the Lady fathers herself'
Pedro speaking in Much Ado About Nothing
Act 1 Scene 1
The mind boggles, but presumably it means that she proclaims her fathers identity by her appearance.
He sure had a way with words.

"This above all: to thine own self be true,
(And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou cans't not be false to any man ")
This was said by Polonius to his son Laertes in Hamlet. I always thought this was extraordinarily wise for a character who generally seemed to be foolish.

My favourite is " When the willows blow at night
The man who wakes will never sleep" Classic in context.!
