More quotes by William Shakespeare
Wishers were ever fools.
William Shakespeare
I will be treble-sinewed, hearted, breathed, And fight maliciously for when mine hours Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives Of me for jests but now I'll set my teeth And send to darkness all that stop me.
William Shakespeare
Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy: This wide and universal theatre Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Wherein we play in.
William Shakespeare
That, sir, which serves and seeks for gain, And follows but for form, Will pack, when it begins to rain, And leave thee in a storm.
William Shakespeare
Or are you like the painting of a sorrow, a face without a heart?
William Shakespeare
I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
William Shakespeare
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.
William Shakespeare
For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry And so I hear he doth account me too.
William Shakespeare
I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people.
William Shakespeare
Fear and niceness, the handmaids of all women, or more truly, woman its pretty self.
William Shakespeare
As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, at turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant, as earth to centre.
William Shakespeare
I do love My country's good with a respect more tender, More holy and profound, then mine own life, My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase, And treasure of my loins.
William Shakespeare
Not an angel of the air, Bird melodious or bird fair, Be absent hence!
William Shakespeare
Two loves I have, of comfort and despair, Which like two spirits do suggest me still: The better angel is a man right fair, The worser spirit a woman coloured ill.
William Shakespeare
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
William Shakespeare
These cardinals trifle with me I abhor This dilatory sloth and tricks of Rome.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.
William Shakespeare
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love... 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
To show an unfelt sorrow is an office Which the false man does easy.
William Shakespeare
If our virtues did not go forth of us, it were all alike as if we had them not.
William Shakespeare
