More quotes by William Shakespeare
Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.
William Shakespeare
Up and down, up and down I will lead them up and down I am feared in field in town Goblin, lead them up and down
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Tis no sin for a man to labor in his vocation.
William Shakespeare
All the contagion of the south light on you, You shames of Rome! you herd of--boils and plagues Plaster you o'er that you may be abhorr'd Further than seen, and one infect another Against the wind a mile!
William Shakespeare
The people are the city.
William Shakespeare
But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts whereof I take this that you call love to bea sect or scion.... It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will.
William Shakespeare
The mind of guilt is full of scorpions.
William Shakespeare
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.
William Shakespeare
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.
William Shakespeare
What fates impose, that men must needs abide it boots not to resist both wind and tide.
William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
She moves me not, or not removes at least affection's edge in me.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Or art thou but / A dagger of the mind, a false creation, / Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
William Shakespeare
Travelers must be content.
William Shakespeare
Die for adultery! No: The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly does lecher in my sight
William Shakespeare
Although the last, not least.
William Shakespeare
You will never age for me, nor fade, nor die.
William Shakespeare
