More quotes by William Shakespeare
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
William Shakespeare
Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, more than quick words, do move a woman's mind.
William Shakespeare
A violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent--sweet, not lasting The perfume and suppliance of a minute No more.
William Shakespeare
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.
William Shakespeare
Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
William Shakespeare
Quote: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
William Shakespeare
The Thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman and to be King Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor.
William Shakespeare
Hate pollutes the mind.
William Shakespeare
Friendship's full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
The more pity, that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly.
William Shakespeare
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost.
William Shakespeare
My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soul.
William Shakespeare
I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!
William Shakespeare
I cannot be a man with wishing, therefore I will die a woman with grieving.
William Shakespeare
Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here at hand, And the youth, mistook by me, Pleading for a lover's fee. Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare
He that is truly dedicated to war hath no self-love
William Shakespeare
Such an act That blurs the grace and blush of modesty Calls virtue hypocrite takes off the rose From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there makes marriage vows As false as dicers' oaths.
William Shakespeare
You Jig, you amble, and you lisp.
William Shakespeare
