The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
We see which way the stream of time doth run.
Now no way can I stray; Save back to England, all the world's my way.
Oh, that way madness lies; let me shun that.
A merry heart goes all the way, - A sad one tires inan hour.
So, you are very welcome to our house. It must appear in other ways than words, Therefore, I scant this breathing courtesy.
Winter's not gone yet, if the wild geese fly that way.
Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.
I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say - I love you
I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways.
I desire you in friendship, and I will one way or other make you amends.
Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways.
If there is a good will, there is great way.
I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.
