More quotes by William Shakespeare
If by chance I talk a little wild, forgive me I had it from my father.
William Shakespeare
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
William Shakespeare
Examine well your blood.
William Shakespeare
Lend less than you owe.
William Shakespeare
we are the lords of all eternity
William Shakespeare
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
William Shakespeare
O, full of scorpions is my mind!
William Shakespeare
The sweets we wish for, turn to loathed sours, Even in the moment that we call them ours.
William Shakespeare
The course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride, and hug it in mine arms.
William Shakespeare
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
William Shakespeare
Small to greater matters must give way.
William Shakespeare
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air the earth sings when he touches it the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
William Shakespeare
A dream itself is but a shadow.
William Shakespeare
I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book!
William Shakespeare
Alas, their love may be call'd appetite. No motion of the liver, but the palate
William Shakespeare
I have heard of your paintings too, well enough God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
William Shakespeare
Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee!
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
