More quotes by William Shakespeare
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
William Shakespeare
So shaken as we are, so wan with care, Find we a time for frighted peace to pant And breathe short-winded accents of new broils To be commenced in stronds afar remote.
William Shakespeare
Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
Sleep knits up the raveled sleeve of care.
William Shakespeare
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears soft stillness, and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony
William Shakespeare
Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind, As man's ingratitude.
William Shakespeare
Were't not for laughing, I should pity him.
William Shakespeare
Such an act That blurs the grace and blush of modesty Calls virtue hypocrite takes off the rose From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there makes marriage vows As false as dicers' oaths.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god.
William Shakespeare
Omittance is no quittance.
William Shakespeare
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . .
William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait, His day's hot task hath ended in the west: The owl, night's herald, shrieks-'tis very late The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light, Do summon us to part, and bid good night.
William Shakespeare
I fill up a place, which may be better... when I have made it empty.
William Shakespeare
The urging of that word, judgment, hath bred a kind of remorse in me.
William Shakespeare
After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
William Shakespeare
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
William Shakespeare
Such tricks hath strong imagination, That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear!
William Shakespeare
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupts, but being seasoned with a gracious voice obscures the show of evil.
William Shakespeare
April ... hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespeare
Speak low, if you speak love.
William Shakespeare
