More quotes by William Shakespeare
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupts, but being seasoned with a gracious voice obscures the show of evil.
William Shakespeare
Conscience is a blushing, shamefaced spirit than mutinies in a man's bosom it fills one full of obstacles.
William Shakespeare
Grief hath two tongues and never woman yet Could rule them both without ten women's wit.
William Shakespeare
so full of shapes is fancy
William Shakespeare
Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
It hurts not the tongue to give fair words.
William Shakespeare
O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, that he hath turn'd a heaven unto hell
William Shakespeare
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant, only once!
William Shakespeare
Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art, A good mouth-filling oath.
William Shakespeare
If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends, You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse, That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war: since that to both It stands in like request?
William Shakespeare
Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth. O these deliberate fools!
William Shakespeare
There's nothing in this world can make me joy.
William Shakespeare
The deep of night is crept upon our talk, And Nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
Let us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that's gone.
William Shakespeare
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
William Shakespeare
We cannot fight for love, as men may do we shou'd be woo'd, and were not made to woo
William Shakespeare
Your praises will become your wages.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
O sir, you are old nature in you stands on the very verge of her confine you should be ruled and led by some discretion, that discerns your fate better than you yourself.
William Shakespeare
