More quotes by William Shakespeare
Experience teacheth us That resolution 's a sole help at need: And this, my lord, our honour teacheth us, That we be bold in every enterprise: Then since there is no way, but fight or die, Be resolute, my lord, for victory.
William Shakespeare
The Foole doth thinke he is wise, but the wiseman knowes himselfe to be a Foole.
William Shakespeare
There is flattery in friendship.
William Shakespeare
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
You are a tedious fool.
William Shakespeare
His life was gentle and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
Let's teach ourselves that honorable stop, Not to outsport discretion.
William Shakespeare
O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last, And careful hours with Time's deformed hand Have written strange defeatures in my face. But tell me yet, dost thou not know my voice?
William Shakespeare
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
William Shakespeare
Tremble, thou wretch, That hast within thee undivulged crimes Unwhipped of justice.
William Shakespeare
The liquid drops of tears that you have shed Shall come again, transform'd to orient pearl, Advantaging their loan with interest Of ten times double gain of happiness.
William Shakespeare
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
William Shakespeare
Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
William Shakespeare
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee wish not one man more.
William Shakespeare
If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' shell.
William Shakespeare
But virtue never will be mov'd, Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven.
William Shakespeare
Neither my place, nor aught I heard of business, Hath raised me from my bed nor doth the general care Take hold on me for my particular grief Is of so floodgate and o'erbearing nature That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, And it is still itself.
William Shakespeare
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
The wound of peace is surety, Surety secure.
William Shakespeare
