More quotes by William Shakespeare
There is little choice in a barrel of rotten apples.
William Shakespeare
Nothing can seem foul to those who win.
William Shakespeare
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men's blood: I only speak right on I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
William Shakespeare
I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
William Shakespeare
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.
William Shakespeare
Why, this hath not a finger's dignity.
William Shakespeare
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility.
William Shakespeare
Away, you mouldy rogue, away!
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Thou art the Mars of malcontents.
William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
William Shakespeare
We came into the world like brother and brother, And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately long love doth so too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
And nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight which therein works a miracle in Nature, making them lightest that wear most of it: so are those crisped snaky golden locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a second head, the skull that bred them in the sepulchre.
William Shakespeare
We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind To suffer with the body.
William Shakespeare
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.
William Shakespeare
You shall more command with years than with your weapons.
William Shakespeare
