More quotes by William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
It is thyself, mine own self's better part Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
William Shakespeare
Of one that lov'd not wisely but too well.
William Shakespeare
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?
William Shakespeare
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercise.
William Shakespeare
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased, The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
William Shakespeare
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.
William Shakespeare
A little more than kin, and less than kind.
William Shakespeare
My heart is ever at your service.
William Shakespeare
Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth. O these deliberate fools!
William Shakespeare
When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.
William Shakespeare
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
William Shakespeare
Until I know this sure uncertainty, I'll entertain the offered fallacy.
William Shakespeare
Tis the times' plague, when madmen lead the blind.
William Shakespeare
Thrice is he arm'd that hath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though lock'd up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
William Shakespeare
My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon's tail, and my nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows, I am roughand lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing.
William Shakespeare
