The Winter's Tale

Is this nothing?
Why then the world and all that’s in’t is nothing:
The covering sky is nothing, Bohemia nothing,
My wife is nothing, nor nothing have these nothings,

If this be nothing.
 
Leontes

 

The silence often of pure innocence

Persuades when speaking fails.

Exit, pursued by a bear.

Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance.
