More quotes by William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
William Shakespeare
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
William Shakespeare
For to be wise and love exceeds man's might.
William Shakespeare
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up.
William Shakespeare
For she had eyes and chose me.
William Shakespeare
O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives.
William Shakespeare
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention, A kingdom for a stage, princes to act And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
William Shakespeare
Security is the chief enemy of mortals.
William Shakespeare
I am joined with no foot land-rakers, no long-staff, sixpenny strikers, none of these mad, mustachio purple-hued maltworms, but with nobility and tranquillity.
William Shakespeare
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze by the sweet power of music.
William Shakespeare
They that touch pitch will be defiled.
William Shakespeare
Mercutio: If love be rough with you, be rough with love.
William Shakespeare
Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Ang'ring itself and others.
William Shakespeare
Macduff: What three things does drink especially provoke? Porter: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine.
William Shakespeare
The day shall not be up so soon as I, To try the fair adventure of tomorrow.
William Shakespeare
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders At our quaint spirits.
William Shakespeare
England, bound in with the triumphant sea, Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege Of watery Neptune.
William Shakespeare
