More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity. O that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!
William Shakespeare
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.
William Shakespeare
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
William Shakespeare
Gold were as good as twenty orators.
William Shakespeare
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
William Shakespeare
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
William Shakespeare
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.
William Shakespeare
They met so near with their lips that their breaths embraced together.
William Shakespeare
You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.
William Shakespeare
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
William Shakespeare
Dream in light years, challenge miles, walk step by step
William Shakespeare
'Tis thought the king is dead we will not stay. The bay trees in our country are all wither'd.
William Shakespeare
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
The pow'r that I have on you is to spare you The malice towards you to forgive you.
William Shakespeare
Knit your hearts with an unslipping knot.
William Shakespeare
I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion, and I will right myself like a soldier.
William Shakespeare
Mirth cannot move a soul in agony.
William Shakespeare
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
William Shakespeare
