More quotes by William Shakespeare
The heart hath treble wrong When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue.
William Shakespeare
Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
William Shakespeare
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
Put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
we are the lords of all eternity
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Wishers were ever fools.
William Shakespeare
What e'er thou art, act well thy part.
William Shakespeare
Lawn as white as driven snow Cyprus black as e'er was crow Gloves as sweet as damask roses.
William Shakespeare
There was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently
William Shakespeare
There is nothing but roguery to be found in villainous men.
William Shakespeare
Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
There is a kind of character in thy life, That to the observer doth thy history, fully unfold.
William Shakespeare
Some innocents 'scape not the thunderbolt.
William Shakespeare
He does me double wrong That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.
William Shakespeare
What: is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?
William Shakespeare
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But Lust's effect is tempest after sun Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.
William Shakespeare
But thought's the slave of life, and life time's fool.
William Shakespeare
The world must be peopled!
William Shakespeare
