The iron tongue of Midnight hath told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis almost fairy time. I fear we shall outstep the coming morn as much as we this night over-watch'd.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
A miracle. Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will have thee, but by this light I take thee for pity. Beatrice: I would not deny you, but by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion, and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption. Benedick: Peace. I will stop your mouth.
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
QUINCE Francis Flute, the bellows-mender. FLUTE Here, Peter Quince. QUINCE Flute, you must take Thisby on you. FLUTE What is Thisby? a wandering knight? QUINCE It is the lady that Pyramus must love. FLUTE Nay, faith, let me not play a woman I have a beard coming.
William Shakespeare
Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud And after summer evermore succeeds Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold: So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.
William Shakespeare
And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
William Shakespeare
So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman is the immediate jewel of their souls.
William Shakespeare
Beauty lives with kindness.
William Shakespeare
What I have done is yours what I have to do is yours being part in all I have, devoted yours.
William Shakespeare
Our wills and fates do so contrary run, That our devices still are overthrown Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.
William Shakespeare
Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest, Lend less than thou owest.
William Shakespeare
Keep thy friend Under thy own life's key.
William Shakespeare
When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.
William Shakespeare
Death makes no conquest of this conqueror: For now he lives in fame, though not in life.
William Shakespeare
Love is . . . a madness most discreet
William Shakespeare
The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.
William Shakespeare
Let the galled jade wince our withers are unwrung.
William Shakespeare
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
