More quotes by William Shakespeare
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled. Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
William Shakespeare
Tis time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss.
William Shakespeare
For what is wedlock forced but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife? Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss, And is a pattern of celestial peace.
William Shakespeare
Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health, The fit is strongest. Evils that take leave, On their departure most of all show evil.
William Shakespeare
Lawless are they that make their wills their law.
William Shakespeare
Tongues I'll hang on every tree That shall civil sayings show. . . .
William Shakespeare
He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat.
William Shakespeare
Under the colour of commending him I have access my own love to prefer But Silvia is too fair, too true, too holy, To be corrupted with my worthless gifts.
William Shakespeare
God's will! my liege, would you and I alone, Without more help, could fight this royal battle!
William Shakespeare
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
William Shakespeare
To be direct and honest is not safe.
William Shakespeare
...lest too light winning make the prize light.
William Shakespeare
Look, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east! Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tip-toe on the misty mountain-tops.
William Shakespeare
Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' Like the poor cat i' the adage?
William Shakespeare
If she be not honest, chaste, and true, there's no man happy.
William Shakespeare
I do repent but heaven hath pleas'd it so To punish me with this, and this with me, That I must be their scourge and minister. I will bestow him, and will answer well The death I gave him. So again good night. I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Golden lads and girls all must as chimney sweepers come to dust.
William Shakespeare
To England will I steal, and there I'll steal.
William Shakespeare
What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
William Shakespeare
Slander, whose whisper over the world's diameter, as level as the cannon to its blank, transports its poisoned shot.
William Shakespeare
