More quotes by William Shakespeare
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
The apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
Be not afraid of greatness.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
My master hath been an honorable gentleman tricks he hath had in him which gentlemen have.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
When you depart from me sorrow abides and happiness takes his leave.
William Shakespeare
An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.
William Shakespeare
For love, thou know'st, is full of jealousy
William Shakespeare
Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back, When gold and silver becks me to come on.
William Shakespeare
A man can die but once.
William Shakespeare
I am joined with no foot land-rakers, no long-staff, sixpenny strikers, none of these mad, mustachio purple-hued maltworms, but with nobility and tranquillity.
William Shakespeare
The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
William Shakespeare
Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.
William Shakespeare
