Time's glory is to calm contending kings,
To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595)
Macbeth (1605)
She's beautiful, and therefore to be woo'd;
She is a woman, therefore to be won.
Henry VI, Part 1 (1592)
The time is out of joint: O cursed spite,
That ever I was born to set it right!
Hamlet (1600)
Much Ado About Nothing (1598)
Come what come may,
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.
Macbeth (1606)
The course of true love never did run smooth.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595)
If music be the food of love, play on.
Twelfth Night (1601)
Time is the old justice that examines all such offenders, and let Time try.
Time goes on crutches till love have all his rites.
Time is the nurse and breeder of all good.
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a horse's health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath.
We cannot fight for love, as men may do;
We should be woo’d, and were not made to woo.
The whirligig of time brings in his revenges.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have.
