"Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. 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. Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. ——If this be error and upon me proved, ——I never write, nor no man ever loved."

"Muitas vezes perdemos o que deveria ser nosso pelo simples fato de não termos tentado!"

"Duvida que o sol seja a claridade, Duvida que as estrelas sejam chama, Suspeita da mentira na verdade, Mas não duvida deste que te ama!"
