More quotes by William Shakespeare
The curse of marriage That we can call these delicate creatures ours And not their appetites!
William Shakespeare
One woman is fair, yet I am well another is wise, yet I am well another virtuous, yet I am well but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
William Shakespeare
A pair of star-crossed lovers.
William Shakespeare
Direct not him whose way himself will choose 'Tis breath not lack'st, and that breath wilt thou lose.
William Shakespeare
Well, God give them wisdom that have it and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
William Shakespeare
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry! England and Saint George!
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.
William Shakespeare
Oh God! that one might read the book of fate, And see the revolution of the times Make mountains level, and the continent, Weary of solid firmness, melt itself Into the sea.
William Shakespeare
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.
William Shakespeare
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow We are such stuff as dreams are made of.
William Shakespeare
My stars shine darkly over me
William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From the world-wearied flesh
William Shakespeare
And a man's life's no more than to say One.
William Shakespeare
I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.
William Shakespeare
One half of me is yours, the other half is yours, Mine own, I would say but if mine, then yours, And so all yours.
William Shakespeare
Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends, You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse, That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war: since that to both It stands in like request?
William Shakespeare
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But bad mortality o'ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
William Shakespeare
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
William Shakespeare
