More quotes by William Shakespeare
Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan For that deep wound it gives my friend and me Is't not enough to torture me alone, But slave to slavery my sweet'st friend must be?
William Shakespeare
The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs, Losing both beauty and utility.
William Shakespeare
He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
William Shakespeare
With this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature. for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature.
William Shakespeare
I will be master of what is mine own: She is my goods, my chattels she is my house, My household stuff, my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing.
William Shakespeare
Conscience is a blushing, shamefaced spirit than mutinies in a man's bosom it fills one full of obstacles.
William Shakespeare
Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
T'is true: there's magic in the web of it.
William Shakespeare
A poor thing, perhaps, but my own.
William Shakespeare
For death remembered should be like a mirror, Who tells us life’s but breath, to trust it error.
William Shakespeare
My meaning in saying he is a good man, is to have you understand me that he is sufficient.
William Shakespeare
I pray you bear me henceforth from the noise and rumour of the field, where I may think the remnant of my thoughts in peace, and part of this body and my soul with contemplation and devout desires.
William Shakespeare
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.
William Shakespeare
I wish you well and so I take my leave, I Pray you know me when we meet again.
William Shakespeare
A light heart lives long.
William Shakespeare
There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
William Shakespeare
I love him for his sake And yet I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him That they take place when virtue's steely bones Looks bleak i' th' cold wind withal, full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
Come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy, That one short minute gives me in her sight
William Shakespeare
