More quotes by William Shakespeare
Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
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
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats If it be man's work, I'll do't.
William Shakespeare
All that glisters is not gold Often have you heard that told: Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold: Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
William Shakespeare

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
I know a place where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows.
William Shakespeare
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But Lust's effect is tempest after sun Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.
William Shakespeare
Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania
William Shakespeare
O, that our fathers would applause our loves, To seal our happiness with hteir consents!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Old Time the clock-setter.
William Shakespeare
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side
William Shakespeare
Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose to the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude, and in the calmest and most stillest night, with all appliances and means to boot, deny it to a king?
William Shakespeare
Tis a happy thing To be the father unto many sons.
William Shakespeare
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, and that craves wary walking.
William Shakespeare
No legacy is so rich as honesty.
William Shakespeare
Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, more than quick words, do move a woman's mind.
William Shakespeare
The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark When neither is attended and I think The nightingale, if she should sing by day When every goose is cackling, would be thought No better a musician than the wren. How many thing by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!
William Shakespeare
