More quotes by William Shakespeare
Examine well your blood.
William Shakespeare
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
My lord, they say five moons were seen to-night-- Four fixed, and the fifth did whirl about The other four in wondrous motion.
William Shakespeare
Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent.
William Shakespeare
A book? O, rare one, Be not, as is our fangled world, a garment Nobler than that it covers.
William Shakespeare
Greatness, once fallen out with fortune, must fall out with men too.
William Shakespeare
How many cowards whose hearts are all as false As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, Who inward searched, have livers white as milk!
William Shakespeare
More fools know Jack Fool than Jack Fool knows.
William Shakespeare
Conscience is a thousand swords.
William Shakespeare
The soul of this man is his clothes.
William Shakespeare
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
I hold him but a fool that will endanger His body for a girl that loves him not.
William Shakespeare
Let me have war, say I it exceeds peace as far as day does night it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent.
William Shakespeare
By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place In my heart's love hath no man than yourself. Nay, task me to my word approve me, lord.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.
William Shakespeare
I wonder that you will still be talking. Nobody marks you.
William Shakespeare
I am one, my liege, Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world Have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world.
William Shakespeare
What's done can't be undone.
William Shakespeare
I myself am best When least in company.
William Shakespeare
