More quotes by William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
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
Where the greater malady is fixed, The lesser is scarce felt.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare
I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched in so many giddy offences as He hath generally taxed their whole their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.
William Shakespeare
Greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Come not within the measure of my wrath.
William Shakespeare
Polonius: Do you know me, my lord? Hamlet: Excellent well. You are a fishmonger.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Old fashions please me best I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions.
William Shakespeare
What is past is prologue.
William Shakespeare
...an old man is twice a child.
William Shakespeare
For 'tis the sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petar and't shall go hard But I will delve one yard below their mines And blow them at the moon.
William Shakespeare
Nature does require her times of preservation.
William Shakespeare
Crowns have their compass-length of days their date- Triumphs their tomb-felicity, her fate- Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker, But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker.
William Shakespeare
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life.
William Shakespeare
The object of Art is to give life a shape.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. *Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.*
William Shakespeare
