More quotes by William Shakespeare
This act is an ancient tale new told And, in the last repeating, troublesome, Being urged at a time unseasonable.
William Shakespeare
The heart hath treble wrong When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue.
William Shakespeare
Nature's tears are reason's merriment.
William Shakespeare
And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire, The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmasks her beauty to the moon.
William Shakespeare
The weariest and most loathed worldly life, that age, ache, penury and imprisonment can lay on nature is a paradise, to what we fear of death.
William Shakespeare
O excellent! I love long life better than figs.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
A Devil, a born Devil on whose nature, nurture can never stick, on whom my pain, humanly taken, all lost, quite lost.
William Shakespeare
Alas, how love can trifle with itself!
William Shakespeare
Value dwells not in particular will It holds his estimate and dignity As well wherein 'tis precious of itself As in the prizer.
William Shakespeare
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Pale in her anger washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound And through this distemperature we see The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
I do I know not what, and fear to find Mine eye too great a flatterer for my mind. Fate, show thy force. Ourselves we do not owe. What is decreed must be and be this so.
William Shakespeare
I thank you all and here dismiss you all, and to the love and favor of my country commit myself, my person, and the cause.
William Shakespeare
Pleasure and revenge Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice Of any true decision.
William Shakespeare
I cannot be a man with wishing, therefore I will die a woman with grieving.
William Shakespeare
Like the lily That once was mistress of the field and flourished, I'll hang my head and perish.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is chok'd with foul ambition
William Shakespeare
