Through tattered clothes great vices do appear Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
A contract of eternal bond of love, Confirm'd by mutual joinder of your hands, Arrested by the holy close of lips, Strength'ned by the interchangement of your rings, And all the ceremony of this compact Seal'd in my function, by my testimony.
William Shakespeare
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
My wits begin to turn.
William Shakespeare
What, keep a week away? Seven days and nights, Eightscore-eight hours, and lovers' absent hours More tedious than the dial eightscore times! O weary reckoning!
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William Shakespeare
Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast, yet love breaks through and picks them all at last.
William Shakespeare
There is a world elsewhere.
William Shakespeare
He is well paid that is well satisfied.
William Shakespeare
I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?
William Shakespeare
For I am he am born to tame you, Kate and bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate conformable as other household Kates.
William Shakespeare
When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.
William Shakespeare
If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.
William Shakespeare
Upon his royal face there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.
William Shakespeare
The chameleon Love can feed on the air
William Shakespeare
Conscience is a blushing, shamefaced spirit than mutinies in a man's bosom it fills one full of obstacles.
William Shakespeare
...lest too light winning make the prize light.
William Shakespeare
