Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more!
  Men were deceivers ever,
    One foot in sea, and one on shore;
      To one thing constant never.

      - Much Ado About Nothing (Pedro at II, iii)

He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest man and a soldier; and now is he turned orthography; his words are a very fantastical banquet--just so many strange dishes.
      - Much Ado About Nothing
         (Benedick at II, iii) [Words]

I will not be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster; but I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster of me he shall never make me such a fool.

         (Benedick at II, iii) [Matrimony]

One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall be of what color it please God.

Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes,
  Misprizing what they look on; and her wit
    Values itself so highly that to her
      All matter else seems weak.

        [Eyes]

Good Margaret, run thee to the parlor.
  There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice
    Proposing with the Prince and Claudio.
      Whisper her ear and tell her, I and Ursley
        Walk in the orchard, and our whole discourse
          Is all of her. Say that thou overheard'st us;
            And bid her steal into the pleached bower,
              Where honeysuckles, ripened by the sun,
                Forbid the sun to enter--like favorites,
                  Made proud by princes, that advance their pride
                    Against that power that bred it. There will she hide her
                      To listen our propose. This is thy office.
                        Bear thee well in it and leave us alone.
      - Much Ado About Nothing (Hero at III, i)
        [Honeysuckles]

    Close by the ground, to hear our conference.

  Cut with her golden oars the silver stream
    And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I have the toothache.

    What? sigh for the toothache?
