More quotes by William Shakespeare
Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare
The leopard does not change his spots.
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.
William Shakespeare
If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me.
William Shakespeare
For there was never yet philosoper That could endure the toothache patiently, However they have writ the style of gods, And made a push at chance and sufferance.
William Shakespeare
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou has no name to be known by, let us call thee devil....O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, And you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight, Which therein works a miracle in nature, Making them lightest that wear most of it.
William Shakespeare
I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.
William Shakespeare
But when I came, alas, to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
William Shakespeare
This act is an ancient tale new told And, in the last repeating, troublesome, Being urged at a time unseasonable.
William Shakespeare
What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.
William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
William Shakespeare
Men judge by the complexion of the sky The state and inclination of the day.
William Shakespeare
Courage and comfort, all shall yet go well
William Shakespeare
What wouldst thou do, old man? Think'st thou that duty shall have dread to speak When power to flattery bows?
William Shakespeare
O Judgment ! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason !
William Shakespeare
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
He's loved of the distracted multitude, who like not in their judgement, but their eyes.
William Shakespeare
