More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then unto me.
William Shakespeare
More matter with less art.
William Shakespeare
There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
William Shakespeare
Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow'st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here's three on's are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue.

With caution judge of probability. Things deemed unlikely, e'en impossible, experience oft hath proved to be true.
William Shakespeare
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.
William Shakespeare
Fortune is painted blind, with a muffler afore her eyes, to signify to you that Fortune is blind.
William Shakespeare
All dark and comfortless.
William Shakespeare
Love and meekness, lord, Become a churchman better than ambition: Win straying souls with modesty again, Cast none away.
William Shakespeare
O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.
William Shakespeare
Yea from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records.
William Shakespeare
Some innocents 'scape not the thunderbolt.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.
William Shakespeare
Shine out fair sun, till I have bought a glass, That I may see my shadow as I pass.
William Shakespeare
A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry But were we burdened with light weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain.
William Shakespeare
Honor's thought Reigns solely in the breast of every man.
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
