Good men Quote by William Shakespeare

“Tis good for men to love their present pains Upon example; so the spirit is eas'd : And when the mind is quicken'd, out of doubt The organs, though defunct and dead before, Break up their drowsy grave, and newly move With casted slough and fresh legerity.” quote by William Shakespeare
