Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy: This wide and universal theatre Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Wherein we play in.

Image
And thence from Athens turn away our eyes To seek new friends and stranger companies.
William Shakespeare
Image
See where she comes apparelled like the spring.
William Shakespeare
Image
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare
Image
Instead of weeping when a tragedy occurs in a songbird's life, it sings away its grief. I believe we could well follow the pattern of our feathered friends.
William Shakespeare
Image
She dreams of him that has forgot her love You dote on her that cares not for your love. 'Tis pity love should be so contrary And thinking of it makes me cry 'alas!

A rotten case abides no handling.
William Shakespeare

Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief? O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week, Or if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.
William Shakespeare
Image
Fortune is painted blind, with a muffler afore her eyes, to signify to you that Fortune is blind.
William Shakespeare
Image
As a decrepit father takes delight To see his active child do deeds of youth, So I, made lame by fortune's dearest spite, Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth.
William Shakespeare
Image
Passion lends them power, time means to meet, tempering extremities with extremes sweet.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways.
William Shakespeare
Image
He that hath the steerage of my course, Direct my sail.
William Shakespeare
Image
Tush! Fear not, my lord, we will not stand to prate Talkers are no good doers: be assured We come to use our hands and not our tongues.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let's meet as little as we can
William Shakespeare
Image
Kiss me, Kate, we shall be married o'Sunday
William Shakespeare
Image
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourg'd with rods, Nettled and stung with pismires[nettles], when I hear Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.
William Shakespeare
Image
Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.
