More quotes by William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)

Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh. Come, cordial and not poison, go with me To Juliet's grave for there must I use thee.
William Shakespeare
Let the sap of reason quench the fire of passion.
William Shakespeare
I love thee, and it is my love that speaks
William Shakespeare
I am not bound to please thee with my answer.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended, if the suit be won.
William Shakespeare
An overflow of good converts to bad.
William Shakespeare
To go to bed after midnight is to go to bed betimes
William Shakespeare

GLOUCESTER: I do not know that Englishman alive With whom my soul is any jot at odds, More than the infant that is born to-night: I thank my God for my humility.
William Shakespeare
