Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Free from gross passion or of mirth or anger
William Shakespeare
To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
William Shakespeare
Write till your ink be dry, and with your tears Moist it again, and frame some feeling line That may discover such integrity.
William Shakespeare
Ay, is it not a language I speak?
William Shakespeare
Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight The words of heaven on whom it will, it will, On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.
William Shakespeare
Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affection, Figures pedantical--these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
William Shakespeare
As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark...so many a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.
William Shakespeare
And by that destiny to perform an act Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.
William Shakespeare
wert thou as far As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise.
William Shakespeare
Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor for 'tis the mind that makes the body rich
William Shakespeare
Would I were dead, if God's good will were so, For what is in this world but grief and woe?
William Shakespeare
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.
William Shakespeare
Your cause of sorrow must not be measured by his worth, for then it hath no end.
William Shakespeare
More can I bear than you dare execute.
William Shakespeare
The peace of heaven is theirs that lift their swords, in such a just and charitable war.
William Shakespeare
Conceal me what I am, and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent.
William Shakespeare
Zounds! I was never so bethumped with words since I first called my brother's father dad.
William Shakespeare
We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, love can transpose to form and dignity
William Shakespeare
