Be check’d for silence, but never tax’d for speech. (All’s Well That Ends Well)
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. (Much Ado About Nothing)

O shame, where is thy blush? Rebellious hell, If thou canst mutine in a matron’s bones, To flaming youth let virtue be as wax, And melt in her own fire. Proclaim no shame, When the compulsive ardor gives the charge, Since frost itself as actively doth burn, and reason panders will. (Hamlet)
Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides, Who covert faults at last with shame derides. (King Lear)
Have you no modesty, no maiden shame, No touch of bashfulness? (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
