I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
How every fool can play upon the word!
William Shakespeare
O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavor be so loved, and the performance so loathed?
William Shakespeare
Is this the generation of love? Hot blood, hot thoughts and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers. Is love a generation of vipers?
William Shakespeare
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
Be not afraid of greatness.
William Shakespeare
To wilful men, the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.
William Shakespeare
The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.
William Shakespeare
Let's meet as little as we can
William Shakespeare
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least speak most, to my capacity.
William Shakespeare
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't.
William Shakespeare
A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?
William Shakespeare
Greatness knows itself.
William Shakespeare
The mightier man, the mightier is the thing That makes him honored or begets him hate For greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare
Friendship's full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
Believe then, if you please, that I can do strange things. [Act 5, Scene 2]
William Shakespeare
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak Lay open to my earthy-gross conceit, Smother'd in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, The folded meaning of your words' deceit.
William Shakespeare
... the spring, the summer, The chilling autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries and the mazed world By their increase, now knows not which is which.
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
Now I will believe that there are unicorns.
William Shakespeare
