Quote by William Shakespeare

“To the celestial, and my soul's idol, the most beautified Ophelia. Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love. O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers. I have not art to reckon my groans. But that I love thee best, O most best, believe it. Adieu. Thine evermore, most dear lady, whilst this machine is to him, Hamlet.”

“Tired eyes repose, yet in dream attune Better days ahead, agrees the evening’s wise moon, As the chorus of stars rise, twinkle, and festoon. I’ve faced the darkness with light and with love; Fallen to the sun, then risen above, Whether storming rain, or enduring tide; I’ve never humbled behind clouds to hide. Don’t cower to fear, and never lose sight, Your power of will exceeds any plight.”
