My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen; my crown is called "content;"

Julius Caesar -- II. 2.
The dread of something after death, Makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others we know not of.
Hamlet -- III. 1.
The sense of death is most in apprehension.
Measure for Measure -- III. 1.
By medicine life may be prolonged, yet death Will seize the doctor too.
Cymbeline -- V. 5.

An evil soul, producing holy witness, Is like a villain with a smiling cheek; A goodly apple rotten at the heart; O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
Merchant of Venice -- I. 3.
DEEDS.
