More quotes by William Shakespeare
Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure.
William Shakespeare
This cold night will turn us all to fools and madmen.
William Shakespeare
Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons' difference, as the icy fang And churlish chiding of the winter's wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body, Even till I shrink with cold, I smile.
William Shakespeare
For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.
William Shakespeare
Doubt is a thief that often makes us fear to tread where we might have won.
William Shakespeare
Value dwells not in particular will It holds his estimate and dignity As well wherein 'tis precious of itself As in the prizer.
William Shakespeare
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
William Shakespeare
My thoughts are whirled like a potter's wheel I know not where I am nor what I do.
William Shakespeare
Lay aside life-harming heaviness, And entertain a cheerful disposition.
William Shakespeare
My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare
What must be shall be.
William Shakespeare
Do not cast away an honest man for a villain's accusation.
William Shakespeare
This act is an ancient tale new told And, in the last repeating, troublesome, Being urged at a time unseasonable.
William Shakespeare
The smallest worm will turn being trodden on, And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood.
William Shakespeare
Life every man holds dear but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
William Shakespeare
There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune.
William Shakespeare
Poor and content, is rich and rich enough But riches, fineless, is as poor as winter, To him that ever fears he shall be poor.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity. O that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!
William Shakespeare
Women are as roses, whose fair flower, being once displayed, doth fall that very hour.
William Shakespeare
