More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds.
William Shakespeare
On pain of death, no person be so bold.
William Shakespeare
Awake, awake, English nobility! Let not sloth dim your horrors new-begot.
William Shakespeare
Beauty lives with kindness.
William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever. Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
William Shakespeare
Laughing faces do not mean that there is absence of sorrow! But it means that they have the ability to deal with it
William Shakespeare
Doubt thou the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love.
William Shakespeare
Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers they hold up Adam's profession.
William Shakespeare
My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
William Shakespeare
If people knew how much I hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
William Shakespeare
I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die.
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
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
How many cowards whose hearts are all as false As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, Who inward searched, have livers white as milk!
William Shakespeare
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
William Shakespeare
Unless the old adage must be verified, That beggars mounted, run their horse to death.
William Shakespeare
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
William Shakespeare
