Midsummer Night’s Dream — V. 1

The silence often of pure innocence

Persuades, when speaking fails.

Winter’s Tale — II. 2

Silence is the perfectest herald of joy:

I were but little happy, if I could say how much.

Much Ado About Nothing — II. 1

Slander

Slander,

Whose edge is sharper than the sword; whose tongue

Outvenoms all the worms of Nile; whose breath

Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie

All corners of the world; kings, queens, and states,

Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave,

This viperous slander enters.
