More quotes by William Shakespeare
Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
William Shakespeare
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
William Shakespeare
But I will be, A bridegroom in my death, and run into't As to a lover's bed.
William Shakespeare
Faint heart never won fair maid.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil. Are empty trunks o'erflourished by the devil.
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
William Shakespeare
God bless thee and put meekness in thy breast, Love, charity, obedience, and true duty!
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
William Shakespeare
That but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'ld jump the life to come.
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
Many dream not to find, neither deserve, and yet are steeped in favors.
William Shakespeare
I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
William Shakespeare
We were not born to sue, but to command.
William Shakespeare
It is war's prize to take all vantages And ten to one is no impeach of valor.
William Shakespeare
Who soars too near the sun, with golden wings, melts them.
William Shakespeare
Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago, If thou but think'st him wronged, and mak'st his ear A stranger to thy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality.
