More quotes by William Shakespeare
Time's the king of men he's both their parent, and he is their grave, and gives them what he will, not what they crave.
William Shakespeare
Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak.
William Shakespeare
You are made Rather to wonder at the things you hear Than to work any.
William Shakespeare
The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through And keep their impious turbans on without Good morrow to the sun.
William Shakespeare
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables.
William Shakespeare
Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, more longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, than women's are.
William Shakespeare
Or art thou but / A dagger of the mind, a false creation, / Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
No visor does become black villainy so well as soft and tender flattery.
William Shakespeare
Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.
William Shakespeare
I praise God for you, sir: your reasons at dinner have been sharp and sententious pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, audacious without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange with-out heresy.
William Shakespeare
Who is so firm that can't be seduced?
William Shakespeare
I care not, a man can die but once we owe God and death.
William Shakespeare
Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn but I shall have my pocket picked?
William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare
What wouldst thou do, old man? Think'st thou that duty shall have dread to speak When power to flattery bows?
William Shakespeare
To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still.
William Shakespeare
Flower of this purple dye, Hit with Cupid's archery, Sink in apple of his eye.
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
The Foole doth thinke he is wise, but the wiseman knowes himselfe to be a Foole.
William Shakespeare
Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.
William Shakespeare
