They lie deadly that tell you have good faces.
I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.
I must to the barber's, monsieur, for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face.
Thrust your head into the public street, to gaze on Christian fools with varnish'd faces.
It is the witness still of excellency to put a strange face on his own perfection.
Knavery's plain face is never seen till used.
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
All men's faces are true, whatsome'er their hands are.
For by his face straight shall you know his heart.
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
Upon his royal face there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him.
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.
Why, what's the matter, That you have such a February face, So full of frost, of storm and cloudiness?
