More quotes by William Shakespeare
To sue to live, I find I seek to die And, seeking death, find life: let it come on.
William Shakespeare
... And death unloads thee.
William Shakespeare
I am too old to fawn upon a nurse, Too far in years to be a pupil now.
William Shakespeare
She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project or affection, she is so self-endeared
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none. This above all: to thine own self be true. No legacy is so rich as honesty. Brevity is the soul of wit
William Shakespeare
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
William Shakespeare
My rage is gone, And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers I'll be one. Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully, Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, Which to this hour bewail the injury, Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist.
William Shakespeare
More matter with less art.
William Shakespeare
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.
William Shakespeare
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
William Shakespeare
If ever thou shalt love, In the sweet pangs of it remember me For such as I am all true lovers are, Unstaid and skittish in all motions else Save in the constant image of the creature That is beloved.
William Shakespeare
World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.
William Shakespeare
Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly swear not commit not with man's sworn spouse set not thy sweet heart on proud array. * * * Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books.
William Shakespeare
If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
William Shakespeare
Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
In limited professions there's boundless theft.
William Shakespeare
Rest you fair, good signior Your worship was the last man in our mouths.
William Shakespeare
