More quotes by William Shakespeare
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!
William Shakespeare
If she be not honest, chaste, and true, there's no man happy.
William Shakespeare
No .... holy father, throw away that thought. Believe not that the dribbling dart of love Can pierce a complete bosom.
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
Eternity was in our lips and eyes.
William Shakespeare
Things in motion sooner catch the eye than what not stirs.
William Shakespeare
Poor and content, is rich and rich enough But riches, fineless, is as poor as winter, To him that ever fears he shall be poor.
William Shakespeare
Talkers are no good doers.
William Shakespeare
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.
William Shakespeare
Now no way can I stray Save back to England, all the world's my way.
William Shakespeare
We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind To suffer with the body.
William Shakespeare
As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.
William Shakespeare
It is thyself, mine own self's better part Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
William Shakespeare
When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?
William Shakespeare
Well, if Fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for this gear.
William Shakespeare
Yes, faith it is my cousin's duty to make curtsy and say 'Father, as it please you.' But yet for all that, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow, or else make another curtsy and say 'Father, as it please me.
William Shakespeare
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead, excessive grief the enemy to the living.
William Shakespeare
