More quotes by William Shakespeare
The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost.
William Shakespeare
Ay beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
William Shakespeare
Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
I'll read enough When I do see the very book indeed Where all my sins are writ, and that's myself.
William Shakespeare
But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot? Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.
William Shakespeare
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak.
William Shakespeare
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief? O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week, Or if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.
William Shakespeare
Experience teacheth that resolution is a sole help in need.
William Shakespeare
His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch, and his countenance enforces homage. He is indeed a horse.
William Shakespeare
To move wild laughter in the throat of death? It cannot be it is impossible: Mirth cannot move a soul in agony.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
William Shakespeare
I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book!
William Shakespeare
