Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
William Shakespeare
For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.
William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
Though those that are betray'd Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe
William Shakespeare
Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.
William Shakespeare
Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty.
William Shakespeare
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.
William Shakespeare
Better be with the dead, Whom we to gain our peace, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In restless ecstasy.
William Shakespeare
My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the Bay of Portugal.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears: But yet It is our trick nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will: when these are gone, The woman will be out. — Adieu, my lord! I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze, But that this folly drowns it.
William Shakespeare
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
For where thou art, there is the world itself, With every several pleasure in the world, And where thou art not, desolation.
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
To some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies.
William Shakespeare
So distribution should undo excess, and each man have enough.
William Shakespeare
How sometimes nature will betray its folly, Its tenderness, and make itself a pastime To harder bosoms!
William Shakespeare
Then is it sin to rush into the secret house of death. Ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
He is white-livered and red-faced.
William Shakespeare
What, gone without a word? Ay, so true love should do it cannot speak, For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
What should we speak of When we are old as you? when we shall hear The rain and wind beat dark December? how, In this our pinching cave, shall we discourse The freezing hours away?
William Shakespeare
