Time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop.
William Shakespeare
O powerful love, that in some respects makes a beast a man, in some other, a man a beast.
William Shakespeare
He is the most wretched of men who has never felt adversity.
William Shakespeare
The hand that hath made you fair hath made you good.
William Shakespeare
In struggling with misfortunes lies the true proof of virtue.
William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
The best is yet to come.
William Shakespeare
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare
Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep-searched with saucy looks: Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority from others' books.
William Shakespeare
Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
William Shakespeare
You have but mistook me all the while... I live by bread like you, taste grief, feel want, need friends. Conditioned thus how can you call me king?
William Shakespeare
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
William Shakespeare
I will be treble-sinewed, hearted, breathed, And fight maliciously for when mine hours Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives Of me for jests but now I'll set my teeth And send to darkness all that stop me.
William Shakespeare
This rough magic I here abjure and when I have required some heavenly music, which even now I do, to work mine end upon their senses that this airy charm is for, I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book.
William Shakespeare
Lord Bacon told Sir Edward Coke when he was boasting, The less you speak of your greatness, the more shall I think of it.
William Shakespeare
Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lender's books, and defy the foul fiend.
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
William Shakespeare
Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
William Shakespeare
