Such antics do not amount to a man.
William Shakespeare
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
William Shakespeare
Foul deeds will rise, Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.
William Shakespeare
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
William Shakespeare
Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it Without a prompter.
William Shakespeare
Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts To courtship and such fair ostents of love As shall conveniently become you there.
William Shakespeare
Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.

William Shakespeare
I am indeed not her fool, but her corrupter of words. (Act III, sc. I, 37-38)
William Shakespeare
For it falls out That what we have we prize not to the worth Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, Why, then we rack the value, then we find The virtue that possession would not show us While it was ours.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
Very good orators, when they are out, they will spit and for lovers, lacking--God warn us!--matter, the cleanliest shift is to kiss.
William Shakespeare
Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies
William Shakespeare
I knew when seven justices could not take up a quarrel, but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an If, as, 'If you said so, then I said so' and they shook hands and swore brothers. Your If is the only peacemaker much virtue in If.
William Shakespeare
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
William Shakespeare
A woman's thought runs before her actions.
William Shakespeare
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have To wear away this long age of three hours Between our after-supper and bedtime?
William Shakespeare
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.
William Shakespeare
