More quotes by William Shakespeare
I am thy father's spirit Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night And, for the day, confin'd to fast in fires, Till the foul crimes, done in my days of nature, Are burnt and purg'd away.
William Shakespeare
The pleasing punishment that women bear.
William Shakespeare
I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream.
William Shakespeare
ROSS You must have patience, madam. LADY MACDUFF He had none: His flight was madness: when our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors.
William Shakespeare
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.
William Shakespeare
The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.
William Shakespeare
Forget, forgive conclude, and be agreed.
William Shakespeare
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.
William Shakespeare
Sir, the year growing ancient, Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors, Which some call nature's bastards.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
There's some ill planet reigns: I must be patient till the heavens look With an aspect more favourable.
William Shakespeare
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
William Shakespeare
My crown is in my heart, not on my head not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
Affliction may one day smile again and till then, sit thee down, sorrow!.
William Shakespeare
A tardiness in nature, Which often leaves the history unspoke, That it intends to do.
William Shakespeare
Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap? Ophelia: No, my lord. Hamlet: DId you think I meant country matters? Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord. Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs. Ophelia: What is, my lord? Hamlet: Nothing.
William Shakespeare
One man in his time plays many parts.
William Shakespeare
In nature there's no blemish but the mind. None can be called deformed but the unkind.
William Shakespeare
It is the cowish terror of his spirit that dares not undertake he'll not feel wrongs which tie him to an answer.
William Shakespeare
