And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
William Shakespeare
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .
William Shakespeare
I'll teach you differences.
William Shakespeare
The readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Delivers in such apt and gracious words that aged ears play truant at his tales And younger hearings are quite ravished So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
William Shakespeare
Constant you are, But yet a woman and for secrecy, No lady closer for I well believe Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know.
William Shakespeare
Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir.
William Shakespeare
Is it possible that love should of a sudden take such a hold?
William Shakespeare
Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!
William Shakespeare
Reflection is the business of man a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in joy? Is it not in mercy then that sorrow is allotted unto us?
William Shakespeare
Get thee a good husband, and use him as he uses thee.
William Shakespeare
By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.
William Shakespeare
If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The one's for use, the other useth it.
William Shakespeare
God grant us patience!
William Shakespeare
Lawn as white as driven snow Cyprus black as e'er was crow Gloves as sweet as damask roses.
William Shakespeare
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart.
William Shakespeare
thus with a kiss I die
William Shakespeare
You know who you are, but know not who you could be.
William Shakespeare
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short youth is nimble, age is lame Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and age is tame.
William Shakespeare
