More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Brevity is the soul of wit.
William Shakespeare
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority-a dog's obeyed in office.
William Shakespeare
Comets importing change of times and states, Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky And with them scourge the bad revolting stars.
William Shakespeare
Nay, we must think men are not gods, Nor of them look for such observancy As fits the bridal.
William Shakespeare
It may do good pride hath no other glass To show itself but pride, for supple knees Feed arrogance and are the proud man's fees.
William Shakespeare
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.
William Shakespeare
How hard it is to hide the sparks of Nature!
William Shakespeare
The breaking of so great a thing should make A greater crack: the round world Should have shook lions into civil streets, And citizens to their dens.
William Shakespeare
In struggling with misfortunes lies the true proof of virtue.
William Shakespeare
He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
William Shakespeare
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward, But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William Shakespeare
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
William Shakespeare
Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning One pain is less'ned by another's anguish Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning One desperate grief cures with another's languish.
William Shakespeare
Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.
William Shakespeare
Old fashions please me best I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions.
William Shakespeare
