Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day And make me travel forth without my cloak, To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, Hiding they brav'ry in their rotten smoke?

More quotes by William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. But God be thanked. . . .
William Shakespeare
A plague of sighing and grief! It blows a man up like a bladder.
William Shakespeare
Let me be ignorant, and in nothing good, but graciously to know I am no better.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face! I had rather lie in the woolen.
William Shakespeare
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow, than a man swear he loves me.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, it best agrees with night
William Shakespeare
Truth will come to sight murder cannot be hid long.
William Shakespeare
When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.
William Shakespeare
Some kinds of baseness are nobly undergone.
William Shakespeare
