More quotes by William Shakespeare
So doth the greater glory dim the less: A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by.
William Shakespeare
A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.
William Shakespeare
For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
William Shakespeare
Fair Katherine, and most fair, Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms Such as will enter at a lady's ear, And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?
William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?
William Shakespeare
Get thee to a nunnery.
William Shakespeare
They are in the very wrath of love, and they will go together. Clubs cannot part them
William Shakespeare
Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet: Or like a whale? Polonius: Very like a whale.
William Shakespeare
So holy and so perfect is my love, And I in such a poverty of grace, That I shall think it a most plenteous crop To glean the broken ears after the man That the main harvest reaps.
William Shakespeare
I see, sir, you are liberal in offers. You taught me first to beg, and now methinks You teach me how a beggar should be answered.
William Shakespeare
Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
William Shakespeare
ROMEO There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murders in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. I sell thee poison thou hast sold me none. Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh. Come, cordial and not poison, go with me To Juliet's grave for there must I use thee.
William Shakespeare
Not all the water in the rough rude sea Can wash the balm from an anointed King.
William Shakespeare
Her father lov'd me oft invited me Still question'd me the story of my life, From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, That I have pass'd.
William Shakespeare
If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, 'This poet lies Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
William Shakespeare
Ay, but to die and go we know not where To lie in cold obstrution and to rot This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
William Shakespeare
I always thought it was both impious and unnatural that such immanity and bloody strife should reign among professors of one faith.
William Shakespeare
Forever, and forever, farewell, Cassius! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile If not, why then this parting was well made.
William Shakespeare
