More quotes by William Shakespeare
What a pretty thing man is when he goes in his doublet and hose and leaves off his wit!
William Shakespeare
Ay, but hearken, sir though the chameleon Love can feed on the air, I am one that am nourished by my victuals, and would fain have meat.
William Shakespeare
Every inordinate cup is unbless'd, and the ingredient is a devil.
William Shakespeare
I think thy horse will sooner con an oration than thou learn a prayer without book.
William Shakespeare
Fairies, black, grey, green, and white, You moonshine revellers, and shades of night, You orphan heirs of fixed destiny, Attend your office and your quality.
William Shakespeare
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Hang those that talk of fear.
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes, And hold-fast is the only dog.
William Shakespeare
Mercy is not itself, that oft looks so Pardon is still the nurse of second woe.
William Shakespeare
And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes Heaven drowsy with the harmony.
William Shakespeare
I say, without characters, fame lives long.
William Shakespeare
I think the devil will not have me damned, lest the oil that's in me should set hell on fire.
William Shakespeare
The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand.
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, gives in your weakness strength unto your foe.
William Shakespeare
For so work the honey bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
William Shakespeare
Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low.
William Shakespeare
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sell eternity to get a toy? For one grape who will the vine destroy?
William Shakespeare
