More quotes by William Shakespeare
I stalk about her door, like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks staying for waftage.
William Shakespeare
Do not give dalliance too much rein the strongest oaths are straw to the fire in the blood.
William Shakespeare
Stars, hide your fires Let not light see my black and deep desires.
William Shakespeare
Like one who draws the model of a house beyond his power to build it who, half through, gives o'er, and leaves his part-created cost a naked subject to the weeping clouds.
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
Eternity was in our lips and eyes.
William Shakespeare
I'll go find a shadow, and sigh till he come (Phebe)

William Shakespeare
I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
No legacy is so rich as honesty.
William Shakespeare
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare
Honor, riches, marriage-blessing Long continuance, and increasing, Hourly joys be still upon you!
William Shakespeare
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is slicked o'er with the pale cast of thought
William Shakespeare
If little faults proceeding on distemper Shall not be winked at, how shall we stretch our eye When capital crimes, chewed, swallowed, and digested, Appear before us?
William Shakespeare
The moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.
William Shakespeare
Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust? And, live we how we can, yet die we must.
William Shakespeare
How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping?
William Shakespeare
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long / To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
William Shakespeare
