We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
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
Ready to go but never to return.
William Shakespeare
Exit, pursued by a bear.
William Shakespeare
Let me have war, say I it exceeds peace as far as day does night it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent.
William Shakespeare
Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure let us be jocund
William Shakespeare
The insolence of office.
William Shakespeare
No, no 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself. Therefore give me no counsel: My griefs cry louder than advertisement.
William Shakespeare
How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
William Shakespeare
Oh what fools we mortals are.
William Shakespeare
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.
William Shakespeare
O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
William Shakespeare
What's his offense? Groping for trout in a peculiar river.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended, if the suit be won.
William Shakespeare
There's never a villain dwelling in all Denmark But he's an arrant knave.
William Shakespeare
New customs, Though they be never so ridiculous (Nay, let em be unmanly), yet are followed.
William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. But God be thanked. . . .
William Shakespeare
