More quotes by William Shakespeare
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
Macbeth to Witches: What are these So wither'd and so wild in their attire, That look not like th' inhabitants o' th' earth, And yet are on 't?
William Shakespeare
Friendship is full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
An old man, broken with the storms of state, Is come to lay his weary bones among ye Give him a little earth for charity!
William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare
Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman.
William Shakespeare
Let not our babbling dreams affright our souls Conscience is but a work that cowards use, Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law!
William Shakespeare
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Wisdom and fortune combating together, If that the former dare but what it can, No chance may shake it.
William Shakespeare
For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel: Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him! This was the most unkindest cut of all
William Shakespeare
What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
William Shakespeare
I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking.
William Shakespeare
In a false quarrel there is no true valor.
William Shakespeare
Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
William Shakespeare
Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall.
William Shakespeare
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well. It were done quickly.
William Shakespeare
