More quotes by William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Ay, but hearken, sir though the chameleon Love can feed on the air, I am one that am nourished by my victuals, and would fain have meat.
William Shakespeare
The course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Though it be honest, it is never good to bring bad news.
William Shakespeare
Who riseth from a feast With that keen appetite that he sits down?
William Shakespeare

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
Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries, As motion and long-during action tires The sinewy vigor of the traveller.
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed
William Shakespeare
When holy and devout religious men are at their beads, 'tis hard to draw them thence so sweet is zealous contemplation.
William Shakespeare
We were not born to sue, but to command.
William Shakespeare
I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors To study fashions to adorn my body: Since I am crept in favor with myself, I will maintain it with some little cost.
William Shakespeare
Fill all thy bones with aches.
William Shakespeare
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short youth is nimble, age is lame Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and age is tame.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
William Shakespeare
