The weight of this sad time we must obey,
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest have borne most; we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.

PoetrySome of my favorite quotes by Shakespeare. Mostly about love and death, but also other things such as betrayal or wisdom.
Duke of Albany, King Lear (act 5 - scene 3)
The weight of this sad time we must obey,
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest have borne most; we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
