More quotes by William Shakespeare
The wound of peace is surety, Surety secure but modest doubt is called The beacon of the wise, the tent that searches To th' bottom of the worst.
William Shakespeare
In jest, there is truth.
William Shakespeare
Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight. Mercutio: And so did I. Romeo: Well, what was yours? Mercutio: That dreamers often lie. Romeo: In bed asleep while they do dream things true.
William Shakespeare
Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules, but beware instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter. I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
You are a lover. Borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound.
William Shakespeare
One sin another doth provoke.
William Shakespeare
One pain is lessened by another's anguish.
William Shakespeare
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
Sometimes we are devils to ourselves When we will tempt the frailty of our powers, Presuming on their changeful potency.
William Shakespeare
Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
William Shakespeare
He is winding the watch of his wit by and by it will strike.
William Shakespeare
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare
Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, The folded meaning of your words' deceit.
William Shakespeare
Ha. Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner. There's a double meaning in that. -Benedick (Much Ado)
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
Plutus himself, That knows the tinct and multiplying med'cine, Hath not in nature's mystery more science Than I have in this ring.
William Shakespeare
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
William Shakespeare
From you have I been absent in the spring, When proud pied April, dressed in all his trim, Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing.
William Shakespeare
