William Shakespeare

Romeo: Courage, man; the hurt cannot be much.
Mercutio: No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve.

[From "Henry VI"] Talkers are no good doers.

King John: Zounds! I was never so bethumped with words since I first called my brother's father dad.
