More quotes by William Shakespeare
To some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies.
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
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I think thy horse will sooner con an oration than thou learn a prayer without book.
William Shakespeare
she shall scant show well that now shows best.
William Shakespeare
Death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!
William Shakespeare
Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.
William Shakespeare
You are yoked with a lamb, That carries anger as the flint bears fire Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spank, And straight is cold again.
William Shakespeare
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Nature does require her time of preservation, which perforce, I her frail son amongst my brethren mortal, must give my attendance to.
William Shakespeare
We go to gain a little patch of ground that hath in it no profit but the name.
William Shakespeare
Lovers ever run before the clock
William Shakespeare
The instances that second marriage move Are base respects of thrift, but none of love.
William Shakespeare
Virtue preserv'd from fell destruction's blast, Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.
William Shakespeare
