More quotes by William Shakespeare
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
William Shakespeare
Mine honour is my life both grow in one Take honour from me, and my life is done.
William Shakespeare
Not an angel of the air, Bird melodious or bird fair, Be absent hence!
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives.
William Shakespeare
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day, As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by-and-by black night doth take away.
William Shakespeare
Some are born great, others achieve greatness.
William Shakespeare
I can again thy former light restore, Should I repent me: but once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume.
William Shakespeare
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long
William Shakespeare
When a gentlemen is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths.
William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments: love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.
William Shakespeare
It hurts not the tongue to give fair words.
William Shakespeare
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?
William Shakespeare
Men's evil manners live in brass their virtues we write in water.
William Shakespeare
She is your treasure, she must have a husband I must dance bare-foot on her wedding day, And, for your love to her, lead apes in hell.
William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
Or are you like the painting of a sorrow, a face without a heart?
William Shakespeare
Death lies on her like an untimely frost.
William Shakespeare
Ay, but to die and go we know not where To lie in cold obstrution and to rot This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
William Shakespeare
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.
William Shakespeare
