How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give!

William Shakespeare, Sonnet LIV

Sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet XCIV

I love not less, though less the show appear:
That love is merchandised whose rich esteeming
The owner's tongue doth publish every where.

Admit impediments: love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds.

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.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet CXVI

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.

Coral is far more red than her lips' red...
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.

And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.

So do our minutes hasten to their end.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet LX

Ruin has taught me to ruminate,
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death, which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet LXIV

- More quotations on: [Time]

That time of year thou may'st in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,-
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet LXXIII

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet XVIII

- More quotations on: [Summer]

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes...
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet XXIX
