More quotes by William Shakespeare
Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan For that deep wound it gives my friend and me Is't not enough to torture me alone, But slave to slavery my sweet'st friend must be?
William Shakespeare
Evermore thanks, the exchequer of the poor
William Shakespeare
Lay her i' the earth: And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, A ministering angel shall my sister be, When thou liest howling. HAMLET. What, the fair Ophelia! QUEEN GERTRUDE. Sweets to the sweet: farewell!
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
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
To take arms against a sea of troubles.
William Shakespeare
But I will be, A bridegroom in my death, and run into't As to a lover's bed.
William Shakespeare
That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water
William Shakespeare
Few love to hear the sins they love to act.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love, Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together Affliction alters.
William Shakespeare
There are occasions and causes, why and wherefore in all things.
William Shakespeare
We fail! But screw your courage to the sticking-place, And we'll not fail.
William Shakespeare
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
William Shakespeare
They told me I was everything. 'Tis a lie, I am not ague-proof.
William Shakespeare
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
William Shakespeare
I hold my peace, sir? no No, I will speak as liberal as the north Let heaven and men and devils, let them all, All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak.
William Shakespeare
My father names me Autolycus, who being, as I am, littered under Mercury, was likewise a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.
William Shakespeare
We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.
William Shakespeare
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.
William Shakespeare
