More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let me not live, after my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff of younger spirits.
William Shakespeare
Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes fathers that children with their judgment looked and either may be wrong.
William Shakespeare
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
William Shakespeare
Or art thou but / A dagger of the mind, a false creation, / Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
William Shakespeare
I will not be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster but I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster of me he shall never make me such a fool.
William Shakespeare
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.
William Shakespeare
Truth hath a quiet breast.
William Shakespeare
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
William Shakespeare
I have touched the highest point of all my greatness.
William Shakespeare
All of Creation’s a farce. Man was born as a joke. In his head his reason is buffeted Like wind-blown smoke. Life is a game. Everyone ridicules everyone else. But he who has the last laugh Laughs longest.
William Shakespeare
Beauty within itself should not be wasted.
William Shakespeare
for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent.
William Shakespeare
Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?
William Shakespeare
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief
William Shakespeare
We that are true lovers run into strange capers but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
William Shakespeare
But yet I'll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live.
William Shakespeare
