More quotes by William Shakespeare
That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water
William Shakespeare
A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind.
William Shakespeare
Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear
William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?
William Shakespeare
Love is the greatest of dreams, yet the worst of nightmares.
William Shakespeare
A lover goes toward his beloved as enthusiastically as a schoolboy leaving his books, but when he leaves his girlfriend, he feels as miserable as the schoolboy on his way to school. (Act 2, scene 2)

The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.
William Shakespeare
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out
William Shakespeare
And thou, all-shaking thunder, Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world! Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at once That makes ingrateful man!
William Shakespeare
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-Paradise.
William Shakespeare
There's villainous news abroad.
William Shakespeare
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
William Shakespeare
Thou shalt be free As mountain winds: but then exactly do All points of my command.
William Shakespeare
Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.
William Shakespeare
Life... is a paradise to what we know of death.
William Shakespeare
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
William Shakespeare
One half of me is yours, the other half is yours, Mine own, I would say but if mine, then yours, And so all yours.
William Shakespeare
For honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar.
William Shakespeare
There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
William Shakespeare
