More quotes by William Shakespeare
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!
William Shakespeare
What a pretty thing man is when he goes in his doublet and hose and leaves off his wit!
William Shakespeare
If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The one's for use, the other useth it.
William Shakespeare
What fates impose, that men must needs abide it boots not to resist both wind and tide.
William Shakespeare
He wears the rose Of youth upon him.
William Shakespeare
Olivia: What's a drunken man like, fool? Feste: Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool the second mads him and a third drowns him.
William Shakespeare
All of Creation’s a farce. Man was born as a joke. In his head his reason is buffeted Like wind-blown smoke. Life is a game. Everyone ridicules everyone else. But he who has the last laugh Laughs longest.
William Shakespeare
This thing of darkness I Acknowledge mine.
William Shakespeare
For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.
William Shakespeare
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.
William Shakespeare
I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
William Shakespeare
Extreme fear can neither fight nor fly.
William Shakespeare
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.
William Shakespeare
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
William Shakespeare
Some glory in their birth , some in their skill , Some in their wealth , some in their bodies' force , Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill Some in their hawks and hounds , some in their horse And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure , Wherein it finds a joy above the rest .
William Shakespeare
The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.
William Shakespeare
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
You have but mistook me all the while... I live by bread like you, taste grief, feel want, need friends. Conditioned thus how can you call me king?
William Shakespeare
One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
William Shakespeare
