More quotes by William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov'd, I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
William Shakespeare
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
William Shakespeare
Hang those that talk of fear.
William Shakespeare
Yon grey lines That fret the clouds are messengers of day.
William Shakespeare
Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here at hand, And the youth, mistook by me, Pleading for a lover's fee. Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare
Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.
William Shakespeare
The moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.

William Shakespeare
Delivers in such apt and gracious words that aged ears play truant at his tales And younger hearings are quite ravished So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare
The means that heaven yields must be embraced, and not neglected else, if heaven would, and we will not heaven's offer, we refuse the proffered means of succor and redress.
William Shakespeare
Though I be but prince of Wales, yet I am the king of courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Are there no stones in heaven But what serves for thunder?
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!
William Shakespeare
It is the mind that makes the body rich and as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, so honor peereth in the meanest habit.
William Shakespeare
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.
William Shakespeare
Let there be gall enough in thy ink, though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter.
William Shakespeare
