More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
Fight, gentlemen of England! fight, bold yeomen! Draw, archers, draw your arrows to the head! Spur your proud horses hard, and ride in blood Amaze the welkin with your broken staves!
William Shakespeare
For there's no motion That tends to vice in man, but I affirm It is the woman's part.
William Shakespeare
I do not seek to quench your love's hot fire, But qualify the fire's extreme rage, Lest it should burn above the bounds of reason.
William Shakespeare
Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, love can transpose to form and dignity
William Shakespeare
I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please, for so fools have.
William Shakespeare
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders At our quaint spirits.
William Shakespeare
Tis time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss.
William Shakespeare
The cunning livery of hell.

I have seen better faces in my time Than stands on any shoulder that I see Before me at this instant.
William Shakespeare
Talkers are no good doers.
William Shakespeare
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
William Shakespeare
Such is my love, to thee I so belong, That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
William Shakespeare
Holy, fair, and wise is she The heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be.
William Shakespeare
The will of man is by his reason sway'd.
William Shakespeare
Do not plunge thyself too far in anger.
William Shakespeare
Sweetest nut hath sourest rind.
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
