More quotes by William Shakespeare
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament: They are but beggars that can count their worth But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth.
William Shakespeare
When daffodils begin to peer, With heigh! the doxy, over the dale, Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale. The white sheet bleaching on the hedge, With heigh! the sweet birds, O, how they sing! Doth set my pugging tooth on edge For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.
William Shakespeare
Tis not the many oaths that make the truth But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.
William Shakespeare
Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead, excessive grief the enemy to the living.
William Shakespeare
They have been at a great feast of languages, and stolen the scraps.
William Shakespeare
There's neither honesty, manhood, nor good fellowship in thee.
William Shakespeare
Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man.
William Shakespeare
Nature, as it grows again toward earth, is fashioned for the journey, dull and heavy.
William Shakespeare
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
She is your treasure, she must have a husband I must dance bare-foot on her wedding day, And, for your love to her, lead apes in hell.
William Shakespeare
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
William Shakespeare
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.
William Shakespeare
You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life.
William Shakespeare
All his successors gone before him have done 't and all his ancestors that come after him may.
William Shakespeare
In time we hate that which we often fear.
William Shakespeare
They may seize On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand And steal immortal blessing from her lips, Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
Grief makes one hour ten.
William Shakespeare
Hold, or cut bowstrings.
William Shakespeare
