More quotes by William Shakespeare
No, I will be the pattern of all patience I will say nothing.
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself
William Shakespeare
Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time.
William Shakespeare
Avaunt, you cullions!
William Shakespeare
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
William Shakespeare
That is the way to lay the city flat, To bring the roof to the foundation, And bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, In heaps and piles of ruin.
William Shakespeare
Fairies use flowers for their charactery.
William Shakespeare
Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown, Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.
William Shakespeare
God shall be my hope, my stay, my guide and lantern to my feet.
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
Things past redress are now with me past care
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
William Shakespeare
Let every man be master of his time.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight, Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Past reason hated
William Shakespeare
Tis a cruelty to load a fallen man.
William Shakespeare
How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping?
William Shakespeare
Fools are not mad folks.
William Shakespeare
God send everyone their heart's desire!
William Shakespeare
