More quotes by William Shakespeare
A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Scarce can I speak, my choler is so great. Oh! I could hew up rocks, and fight with flint.
William Shakespeare
The time is out of joint.

Away, you mouldy rogue, away!
