You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air, I banish you And here remain with your uncertainty!

More quotes by William Shakespeare
There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.
William Shakespeare
Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, But they shall find awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind, Ability in means, and choice of friends, To quit me of them throughly.
William Shakespeare
But most it is presumption in us when the help of heaven we count the act of men.
William Shakespeare
O, the blood more stirs To rouse a lion than to start a hare!

William Shakespeare
They say, the tongues of dying men Enforce attention, like deep harmony Where words are scarce, they're seldom spent in vain For they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain.
William Shakespeare
I doubt not then but innocence shall makeFalse accusation blush, and tyrannyTremble at patience.
William Shakespeare
Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
William Shakespeare
Why, all delights are vain but that most vain, Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.
William Shakespeare
Olivia: What's a drunken man like, fool? Feste: Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool the second mads him and a third drowns him.
William Shakespeare
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
William Shakespeare
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare
I can again thy former light restore, Should I repent me: but once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume.
William Shakespeare
When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
William Shakespeare
