More quotes by William Shakespeare
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
And by that destiny to perform an act Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.
William Shakespeare
Yea from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records.
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror.
William Shakespeare
Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done.
William Shakespeare
Though age from folly could not give me freedom, It does from childishness.
William Shakespeare
Report me and my cause aright.
William Shakespeare
My soul is in the sky.
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
Ask me no reason why I love you for though Love use Reason for his physician, he admits him not for his counsellor.
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
Conceal me what I am, and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent.
William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
How use doth breed a habit in a man.
William Shakespeare
The king is but a man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me the element shows to him as it doth to me all his senses have but human conditions his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
William Shakespeare
All's well that ends well still the fine's the crown. Whate'er the course, the end is the renown.
William Shakespeare
If she lives till doomsday, she'll burn a week longer than the whole world.
William Shakespeare
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend?
William Shakespeare
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond.
William Shakespeare
