More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile, Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?
William Shakespeare
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare
With caution judge of probability. Things deemed unlikely, e'en impossible, experience oft hath proved to be true.
William Shakespeare
I have no way and therefore want no eyes I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen our means secure us, and our mere defects prove our commodities.
William Shakespeare
I crave fit disposition for my wife Due reference of place, and exhibition With such accommodation, and besort, As levels with her breeding.
William Shakespeare
Besides, our nearness to the King in love Is near the hate of those love not the King.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Violent fires soon burn out themselves, small showers last long, but sudden storms are short he tires betimes that spurs too fast.
William Shakespeare
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare
Right joyous are we to behold your face, Most worthy brother England fairly met!
William Shakespeare
O wretched state! o bosom black as death!
William Shakespeare
Bow, stubborn knees, and, heart with strings of steel, Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe. All many be well.
William Shakespeare
LEONATO Neighbours, you are tedious. DOGBERRY It pleases your worship to say so, but we are the poor duke's officers but truly, for mine own part, if I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in my heart to bestow it all of your worship.
William Shakespeare
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
William Shakespeare
More matter with less art.
William Shakespeare
For I am proverbed with a grandsire phrase.
William Shakespeare
They have been at a great feast of languages, and stolen the scraps.
William Shakespeare
I have almost forgotten the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool’d to hear a night-shriek and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in’t: I have supt full with horrors Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, cannot once start me.
William Shakespeare
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through fog and filthy air.
William Shakespeare
