More quotes by William Shakespeare
Till all grace be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
If is a custom, More honor'd in the breach than the observance.
William Shakespeare
Then with the losers let it sympathize, For nothing can seem foul to those that win.
William Shakespeare
Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both!
William Shakespeare
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
William Shakespeare
Use every man according to his desert and who should 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity, the less they deserve ... the more merit in your bounty.
William Shakespeare
No, no 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself. Therefore give me no counsel: My griefs cry louder than advertisement.
William Shakespeare
Myself will straight aboard, and to the state This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
William Shakespeare
My long sickness Of health and living now begins to mend, And nothing brings me all things.
William Shakespeare
Farewell, good Salisbury, and good luck go with thee!
William Shakespeare
Take but degree away, untune that string, and hark, what discord follows!
William Shakespeare
She dreams of him that has forgot her love You dote on her that cares not for your love. 'Tis pity love should be so contrary And thinking of it makes me cry 'alas!
William Shakespeare
Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius, That you would have me seek into myself For that which is not in me?
William Shakespeare
You know who you are, but know not who you could be.
William Shakespeare
The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.
William Shakespeare
For there's no motion That tends to vice in man, but I affirm It is the woman's part.
William Shakespeare
Not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, but thankful even for hate that is meant love.
William Shakespeare
My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree Murder, stern murder in the dir'st degree, Throng to the bar, crying all, 'Guilty!, guilty!
William Shakespeare
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.
William Shakespeare
