More quotes by William Shakespeare
Religious canons, civil laws, are cruel then what should war be?
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
Of all the flowers, me thinks a rose is best.
William Shakespeare
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.
William Shakespeare
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head?
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself.
William Shakespeare
I'll go find a shadow, and sigh till he come (Phebe)
William Shakespeare
Within the book and volume of thy brain.
William Shakespeare
Away, you mouldy rogue, away!
William Shakespeare
He says, he loves my daughter I think so too for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
William Shakespeare
What a pretty thing man is when he goes in his doublet and hose and leaves off his wit!
William Shakespeare
Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up Thine own life's means!
William Shakespeare
A knavish speech sleeps in a fool's ear.
William Shakespeare
A plague on both your houses.
William Shakespeare
I have shot mine arrow o'er the house And hurt my brother.
William Shakespeare
Liberty plucks justice by the nose The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart Goes all decorum.
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
