More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let never day nor night unhallowed pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
William Shakespeare
Hang there like fruit, my soul, Till the tree die!
William Shakespeare
Slander, whose whisper over the world's diameter, as level as the cannon to its blank, transports its poisoned shot.
William Shakespeare
Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth.
William Shakespeare
Tis no sin for a man to labor in his vocation.
William Shakespeare
One pain is lessened by another's anguish.
William Shakespeare
Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile Filths savour but themselves.
William Shakespeare
Melancholy is the nurse of frenzy.
William Shakespeare
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare
I praise God for you, sir: your reasons at dinner have been sharp and sententious pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, audacious without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange with-out heresy.
William Shakespeare
Faults that are rich are fair.
William Shakespeare
Time's glory is to command contending kings, To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.
William Shakespeare
Ne'er ask me what raiment I'll wear, for I have no more doublets than backs, no more stockings than legs, nor no more shoes than feet--nay, sometime more feet than shoes, or such shoes as my toes look through the overleather.
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
O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy, In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!
William Shakespeare
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
The gaudy, blabbing, and remorseful day Is crept into the bosom of the sea.
William Shakespeare
But, indeed, words are very rascals, since bonds [vows] disgraced them. Viola: Thy reason, man? Feste: Troth [Truthfully], sir, I can yield you none without words, and words are grown so false, I am loathe to prove reason with them.
William Shakespeare
I say, without characters, fame lives long.
William Shakespeare
Let me be ignorant, and in nothing good, but graciously to know I am no better.
William Shakespeare
