More quotes by William Shakespeare
Well, if Fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for this gear.
William Shakespeare
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Pale in her anger washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound And through this distemperature we see The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue, rather makes choice of loss, than gain which darkens him.
William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
[Thine] face is not worth sunburning.
William Shakespeare
His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch, and his countenance enforces homage. He is indeed a horse.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears: But yet It is our trick nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will: when these are gone, The woman will be out. — Adieu, my lord! I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze, But that this folly drowns it.
William Shakespeare
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear His hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear: And you all know, security Is mortals' chiefest enemy.
William Shakespeare
You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs.
William Shakespeare
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed
William Shakespeare
I stalk about her door, like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks staying for waftage.
William Shakespeare
I'll follow thee and make a heaven of hell, To die upon the hand I love so well
William Shakespeare
Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud The eating canter dwells, so eating love Inhabits in the finest wits of all.
William Shakespeare
A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?
William Shakespeare
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
William Shakespeare
A woman's fitness comes by fits.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.
William Shakespeare
Let not the world see fear and sad distrust govern the motion of a kingly eye.
William Shakespeare
