More quotes by William Shakespeare
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep.
William Shakespeare
I would give all of my fame for a pot of ale and safety.
William Shakespeare
But yet I'll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live.
William Shakespeare
Yea from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records.
William Shakespeare
I have no way and therefore want no eyes I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen our means secure us, and our mere defects prove our commodities.

William Shakespeare
Leave us to our free election.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath?
William Shakespeare
I am a foe to tyrants, and my country's friend.
William Shakespeare
He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a million laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated my enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew.
William Shakespeare
Better conquest never canst thou make than arm thy constant and thy nobler parts against giddy, loose suggestions.
William Shakespeare
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
William Shakespeare
Bait the hook well. This fish will bite.
William Shakespeare
If men could be contented to be what they are, there were no fear in marriage.
William Shakespeare
The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
William Shakespeare
