In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73

More quotes by William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.
William Shakespeare
Barnes are blessings.
William Shakespeare
O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you. . . . She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes In shape no bigger than an agate stone On the forefinger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomi Athwart men’s noses as they lie asleep.
William Shakespeare
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
William Shakespeare
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Their lips were four red roses on a stalk.
William Shakespeare
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
William Shakespeare
So wise so young, they say, do never live long.
William Shakespeare
I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking.
William Shakespeare
To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.
William Shakespeare
