More quotes by William Shakespeare
Time shall unfold what plaited cunning hides: Who cover faults, at last shame them derides.
William Shakespeare
Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation, where each second Stood heir to th's first.
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
If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils, and men with flatterers
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
How use doth breed a habit in a man.
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
Thou unfit for any place but hell.
William Shakespeare
If thou couldst, doctor, cast The water of my land, find her disease, And purge it to a sound and pristine health, I would applaud thee to the very echo, That should applaud you again.
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
William Shakespeare
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through fog and filthy air.
William Shakespeare
I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul remembering my good Friends
William Shakespeare
Speak on, but be not over-tedious.
William Shakespeare
Within the book and volume of thy brain.
William Shakespeare
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground, and tell sad stories of the death of kings... All murdered for within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of a king, keeps Death his court... and with a little pin bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
William Shakespeare
The people are the city.
William Shakespeare
Praise us as we are tasted, allow us as we prove.
William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
