More quotes by William Shakespeare
That England, that was wont to conquer others, Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men.
William Shakespeare
Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
William Shakespeare
What's past and what's to come is strew'd with husks And formless ruin of oblivion.
William Shakespeare
Fight to the last gasp.
William Shakespeare
To persist in doing wrong extenuates not the wrong, but makes it much more heavy.
William Shakespeare
This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, . . . This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.
William Shakespeare
When love begins to sicken and decay it uses an enforced ceremony.
William Shakespeare
When our actions do not, our fears make us traitors.
William Shakespeare
Strong reasons make strong actions let us go If you say ay, the king will not say no.
William Shakespeare
We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
Hear the meaning within the word.
William Shakespeare
To do a great right do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
Every man has business and desire, Such as it is.
William Shakespeare
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
William Shakespeare
A good leg will fall a straight back will stoop a black beard will turn white a curl'd pate will grow bald a fair face will wither a full eye will wax hollow: but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun, and not the moon, — for it shines bright, and never changes, but keeps his course truly.
William Shakespeare
But there is no such man for, brother, men Can counsel and speak comfort to that grief Which they themselves not feel but, tasting it, Their counsel turns to passion, which before Would give preceptial medicine to rage, Fetter strong madness in a silken thread, Charm ache with air and agony with words.
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
