Famous quotes containing the word counsel:

    Is all the counsel that we two have shared,
    The sisters’ vows, the hours that we have spent
    When we have chid the hasty-footed time
    For parting us—O, is all forgot?
    All schooldays’ friendship, childhood innocence?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
