More quotes by William Shakespeare
We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good so find we profit By losing of our prayers.
William Shakespeare
Society is no comfort, to one not sociable.
William Shakespeare
Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek, Where several worthies make one dignity, Where nothing wants that want itself doth seek.
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.
William Shakespeare
What a pretty thing man is when he goes in his doublet and hose and leaves off his wit!
William Shakespeare
Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
I and my bosom must debate awhile, and then I would no other company.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
There's never a villain dwelling in all Denmark But he's an arrant knave.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
A wicked conscience mouldeth goblins swift as frenzy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Great men should drink with harness on their throats.
William Shakespeare
O horror! Horror! Horror! Tongue nor heart Cannot conceive nor name thee!
William Shakespeare
O, what a world of vile ill-favored faults, looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!
William Shakespeare
There's a time for all things.
William Shakespeare
Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud.
William Shakespeare
For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
William Shakespeare
Indeed, sir, he that sleeps feels not the toothache but a man that were to sleep your sleep, and a hangman to help him to bed, I think he would change places with his officer for look you, sir, you know not which way you shall go.
William Shakespeare
