More quotes by William Shakespeare
The language I have learnt these forty years, My native English, now I must forgo And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp, Or like a cunning instrument cased up Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.
William Shakespeare
While he was drunk asleep, or in his rage, or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed.
William Shakespeare
God is our fortress, in whose conquering name Let us resolve to scale their flinty bulwarks.
William Shakespeare
Suit the action to the word : the word to the action : with this special observance that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.
William Shakespeare
Nothing in his life became him like leaving it.
William Shakespeare
What I have done is yours what I have to do is yours being part in all I have, devoted yours.
William Shakespeare
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, The cuckoo then, on every tree, Mocks married men for thus sings he, Cuckoo Cuckoo, cuckoo O, word of fear, Unpleasing to a married ear.
William Shakespeare
Full many a lady I have eyed with best regard, and many a time Th' harmony of their tongues hath into bondage Brought my too diligent ear for several virtues Have I liked several women never any With so full soul but some defect in her Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed, And put it to the foil.
William Shakespeare
None can cure their harms by wailing them.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
To wilful men, the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.
William Shakespeare
Affection, mistress of passion, sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.
William Shakespeare
This music crept by me upon the waters, Allaying both their fury and my passion With its sweet air: thence I have follow’d it.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended, if the suit be won.
William Shakespeare
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer, The childing autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world, By their increase, now knows not which is which.
William Shakespeare
Eternity was in our lips and eyes.
William Shakespeare
Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me, Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain, Have put on black, and loving mourners be, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately long love doth so too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
What is light, if Sylvia be not seen? What is joy if Sylvia be not by?
William Shakespeare
