Shakespeare's Latin

 His [Shajkespeare's] very frequent use of Latin derivatives in their radical sense shows a somewhat thoughtful and observant study of that language. 

- Richard Grant White


"My end was merit of the state of learning and not glory.", "I wish you to take heed of popularity. A popular judge is a deformed thing, and plaudites are fitter for players than for magistrtes." 

- Francis Bacon, Life and Letters, 6 p. 211 


“Therefore set it down, that an habit of secrecy, is both politic and moral.”

- Bacon
