Image
Get thee a good husband, and use him as he uses thee.
William Shakespeare
Image
Abandon all remorse On horror's head horrors accumulate.
William Shakespeare
Image
Fie, fie, how frantically I square my talk!
William Shakespeare
Image
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
William Shakespeare
Image
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
William Shakespeare
Image
Full fathom five thy father lies Of his bones are coral made Those are pearls that were his eyes Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it.
William Shakespeare
Image
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.
William Shakespeare
Image
The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.
William Shakespeare
Image
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
William Shakespeare
Image
No villainous bounty yet hath passed my heart Unwisely, not ignobly, have I given.
William Shakespeare
Image
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
William Shakespeare
Image
Forever, and forever, farewell, Cassius! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile If not, why then this parting was well made.
William Shakespeare
Image
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
William Shakespeare
Image
O Judgment ! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason !
William Shakespeare
Image
Grief hath two tongues and never woman yet Could rule them both without ten women's wit.
William Shakespeare
Image
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
