More quotes by William Shakespeare
Perseverance, my dear Lord. Keeps honour bright.
William Shakespeare
Mine eyes Were not in fault, for she was beautiful Mine ears, that heard her flattery nor my heart, That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious To have mistrusted her.
William Shakespeare
Women are as roses, whose fair flower, being once displayed, doth fall that very hour.
William Shakespeare
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid!
William Shakespeare
Though now this grained face of mine be hid In sap-consuming winter's drizzled snow, And all the conduits of my blood froze up, Yet hath my night of life some memory, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, My dull deaf ears a little use to hear.
William Shakespeare
Ay beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
William Shakespeare
If you shall marry, You give away this hand, and this is mine You give away heaven's vows, and those are mine You give away myself, which is known mine For I by vow am so embodied yours That she which marries you must marry me-- Either both or none.
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil. Are empty trunks o'erflourished by the devil.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.
William Shakespeare
Be stirring as the time be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
Get thee glass eyes, and like a scurvy politician, seem to see the things thou dost not.
William Shakespeare
Is she not passing fair?
William Shakespeare
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use, Revolts from true birth stumbling on abuse.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables.
William Shakespeare
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
William Shakespeare
By that sin fell the angels.
William Shakespeare
Come, go with us, speak fair you may salve so, Not what is dangerous present, but the los Of what is past.
William Shakespeare
