I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Good reasons must of force give place to better.
William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
William Shakespeare
He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.
William Shakespeare
As a walled town is more worthier than a village, so is the forehead of a married man more honorable than the bare brow of a bachelor.
William Shakespeare
Against ill chances men are ever merry, But heaviness foreruns the good event.
William Shakespeare
Of all the fair resort of gentlemen That every day with parle encounter me, In thy opinion which is worthiest love?
William Shakespeare
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.
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
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, That sees into the bottom of my grief?
William Shakespeare
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.
William Shakespeare
Would I were dead, if God's good will were so, For what is in this world but grief and woe?
William Shakespeare
I love thee, I love thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
William Shakespeare
To die, to sleep - To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub, For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
My salad days, When I was green in judgment.
William Shakespeare
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.
William Shakespeare
The let-alone lies not in your good will.
William Shakespeare
Silence is the perfectest herault of joy. I were but little happy if I could say how much.
William Shakespeare
O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!
William Shakespeare
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
William Shakespeare
My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy.
William Shakespeare
