More quotes by William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare
Macbeth to Witches: What are these So wither'd and so wild in their attire, That look not like th' inhabitants o' th' earth, And yet are on 't?
William Shakespeare
If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.
William Shakespeare
So quick bright things come to confusion.
William Shakespeare
Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! sad hours seem long.
William Shakespeare
I do desire we may be better strangers.
William Shakespeare
Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
William Shakespeare
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But bad mortality o'ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
William Shakespeare
Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?
William Shakespeare
Titus Andronicus, my lord the Emperor Sends thee this word, that, if thou love thy sons, Let Marcus, Lucius, or thyself, old Titus, Or any one of you, chop off your hand And send it to the King: he for the same Will send thee hither both thy sons alive, And that shall be the ransom for their fault.
William Shakespeare
So many hours must I take my rest So many hours must I contemplate.
William Shakespeare
Is this a vision? Is this a dream? Do I sleep?
William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
William Shakespeare
O the world is but a word were it all yours to give it in a breath, how quickly were it gone!
William Shakespeare
I myself am best When least in company.
William Shakespeare
Cold indeed, and labor lost: Then farewell heat, and welcome frost!
William Shakespeare
Now all the youth of England are on fire, And silken dalliance in the wardrobe lies Now thrive the armorers, and honor's thought Reigns solely in the breast of every man.
William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare
While he was drunk asleep, or in his rage, or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed.
William Shakespeare
