More quotes by William Shakespeare
For honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar.
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
Virtue preserv'd from fell destruction's blast, Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.
William Shakespeare
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality.
William Shakespeare
I rather would entreat thy company To see the wonders of the world abroad, Than, living dully sluggardized at home, Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.
William Shakespeare
A light heart lives long.
William Shakespeare
Do not spread the compost on the weeds.
William Shakespeare
We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh few are angels.
William Shakespeare
If't be summer news, Smile to't before if winterly, thou need'st But keep that count'nance still.
William Shakespeare
I'll read enough When I do see the very book indeed Where all my sins are writ, and that's myself.
William Shakespeare
There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord: she is never sad but when she sleeps and not ever sad then for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing.
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
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
Each substance of a grief has twenty shadows.
William Shakespeare
And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight The words of heaven on whom it will, it will, On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.
William Shakespeare
Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this for it will come to pass That every braggart will be found an ass.
William Shakespeare
We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars as if we were villians by compulsion.
William Shakespeare
Every inordinate cup is unbless'd, and the ingredient is a devil.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.
William Shakespeare
