More quotes by William Shakespeare
There is nothing serious in Mortality
William Shakespeare
Honor's thought Reigns solely in the breast of every man.
William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
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
When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?
William Shakespeare
We do not keep the outward form of order, where there is deep disorder in the mind.
William Shakespeare
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
William Shakespeare
Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this for it will come to pass That every braggart will be found an ass.
William Shakespeare
Have patience, and endure
William Shakespeare
We must love men, ere to us they will seem worthy of our love.
William Shakespeare
Nor shall this peace sleep with her but as when The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir As great in admiration as herself.
William Shakespeare
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
William Shakespeare
You are a lover. Borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound.
William Shakespeare
Pray, do not mock me. I am a very foolish fond old man, Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
William Shakespeare
... I am At war 'twixt will and will not.
William Shakespeare
Let me say amen betimes lest the devil cross my prayer, for here he comes in the likeness of a Jew.
William Shakespeare
I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
William Shakespeare
Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.
William Shakespeare
Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome therefore I will depart unkissed.
William Shakespeare
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
William Shakespeare
