More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.
William Shakespeare
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson zed! Thou unnecessary letter! My lord, if you will give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into mortar, and daub the wall of a jakes with him. *all cheer for Shakespearean insults*
William Shakespeare
Bosom upon my counsel You'll find it wholesome.
William Shakespeare
Thus weary of the world, away she hies, And yokes her silver doves by whose swift aid Their mistress mounted through the empty skies In her light chariot quickly is convey'd Holding their course to Paphos, where their queen Means to immure herself and not be seen.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.
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
If people knew how much I hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
William Shakespeare
For I am fresh of spirit, and resolved To meet all perils very constantly.
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
ROMEO to BALTHASAR But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs: The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
William Shakespeare
Nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will.
William Shakespeare
Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
William Shakespeare
No, no, I am but shadow of myself: You are deceived, my substance is not here.
William Shakespeare
Love is a wonderful, terrible thing
William Shakespeare
The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
William Shakespeare
