More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar school.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.— Joy, gentle friends! joy and fresh days of love Accompany your hearts!
William Shakespeare
That we would do We should do when we would, for this 'would' changes, And hath abatements and delays as many As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents, And then this 'should' is like a spendthrift sigh, That hurts by easing.
William Shakespeare
This is a gift that I have, simple, simple a foolish extravagant spirit full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions, revolutions these are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion.
William Shakespeare
My heart is turned to stone I strike it, and it hurts my hand.
William Shakespeare
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.
William Shakespeare
It is held that valor is the chiefest virtue, and most dignifies the haver.
William Shakespeare
Condemn the fault and not the actor of it?
William Shakespeare
Why, what's the matter, That you have such a February face, So full of frost, of storm and cloudiness?
William Shakespeare
And nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus There is no virtue like necessity.
William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Violent fires soon burn out themselves, small showers last long, but sudden storms are short he tires betimes that spurs too fast.
William Shakespeare
My dear, dear Lord, The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation that away Men are but gilded loan or painted clay... Mine honor is my life both grow in one Take honor from me, and my life is done.
William Shakespeare
There's husbandry in heaven Their candles are all out.
William Shakespeare
Sorrow, like a heavy ringing bell, once set on ringing, with its own weight goes then little strength rings out the doleful knell.
William Shakespeare
But I remember now I am in this earthly world, where to do harm Is often laudable, to do good sometime Accounted dangerous folly.
William Shakespeare
They lie deadly that tell you have good faces.
William Shakespeare
