More quotes by William Shakespeare
Be to yourself as you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
So far be distant and good night, sweet friend: thy love ne'er alter, till they sweet life end
William Shakespeare
Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare
Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation, where each second Stood heir to th's first.
William Shakespeare
Jesters do oft prove prophets.
William Shakespeare
With caution judge of probability. Things deemed unlikely, e'en impossible, experience oft hath proved to be true.
William Shakespeare
Ask me no reason why I love you for though Love use Reason for his physician, he admits him not for his counsellor.
William Shakespeare
For a noble heart, the most precious gift becomes poor, when the giver stops loving.
William Shakespeare
Frailty, thy name is woman!
William Shakespeare
I am afeard there are few die well that die in battle, for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument?
William Shakespeare
Why, thou owest god a death.
William Shakespeare
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare
A king of infinite space
William Shakespeare
Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun.
William Shakespeare
O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!
William Shakespeare
The last taste of sweets is sweetest last.
William Shakespeare
Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight. Mercutio: And so did I. Romeo: Well, what was yours? Mercutio: That dreamers often lie. Romeo: In bed asleep while they do dream things true.
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
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.
William Shakespeare
When Caesar says, 'Do this', it is performed.
William Shakespeare
