More quotes by William Shakespeare
There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.
William Shakespeare
Good morrow, fair ones pray you, if you know, Where in the purlieus of this forest stands A sheep-cote fenc'd about with olive trees?
William Shakespeare
A violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent--sweet, not lasting The perfume and suppliance of a minute No more.
William Shakespeare
This is the third time I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.
William Shakespeare
The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.
William Shakespeare
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
William Shakespeare
Nothing comes from doing nothing.
William Shakespeare
So loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven, Visit her face' too roughly.
William Shakespeare
It is the mind that makes the body rich and as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, so honor peereth in the meanest habit.
William Shakespeare
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief
William Shakespeare
Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
William Shakespeare
O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, And careful hours with Time's deformed hand Have written strange defeatures in my face. But tell me yet, dost thou not know my voice?
William Shakespeare
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
A fellow by the hand of nature mark'd, Quoted, and sign'd, to do a deed of shame.
William Shakespeare
JAQUES: Rosalind is your love's name? ORLANDO: Yes, just. JAQUES: I do not like her name. ORLANDO: There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
Where is Polonius? HAMLET In heaven. Send hither to see. If your messenger find him not there, seek him i' th' other place yourself. But if indeed you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby.
William Shakespeare
Have patience, and endure
William Shakespeare
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
William Shakespeare
Our wills and fates do so contrary run.
William Shakespeare
