More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I have nothing Of woman in me now from head to foot I am marble-constant.
William Shakespeare
The king's name is a tower of strength.
William Shakespeare
Well, if Fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for this gear.
William Shakespeare
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
For some must watch, while some must sleep So runs the world away
William Shakespeare
Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself are much condemned to have an itching palm.
William Shakespeare
Nature teaches beasts to know their friends.
William Shakespeare
I myself am best When least in company.
William Shakespeare
Sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
William Shakespeare
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well. It were done quickly.
William Shakespeare
