More quotes by William Shakespeare
My language! heavens!I am the best of them that speak this speech. Were I but where 'tis spoken.
William Shakespeare
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe. And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot And thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare
This fellow pecks up wit, as pigeons peas And utters it again when God doth please: He is wit's pedler and retails his wares.
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
Boundless intemperance In nature is a tyranny. It hath been Th' untimely emptying of the happy throne And fall of many kings.
William Shakespeare
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, From earth to heaven.
William Shakespeare
O, reason not the need!
William Shakespeare
And by that destiny to perform an act Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.
William Shakespeare
What infinite heart's-ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy! And what have kings that privates have not too, Save ceremony, save general ceremony?
William Shakespeare
That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave, Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem Or those that be not, would they might seem none!.
William Shakespeare
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow We are such stuff as dreams are made of.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love.
William Shakespeare
I have heard of some kind of men that put quarrels purposely on others, to taste their valor.
William Shakespeare
Have you not heard it said full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught?
William Shakespeare
My father's wit, and my mother's tongue, assist me!
William Shakespeare
I bear a charmed life.
William Shakespeare
