More quotes by William Shakespeare
Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain: As, painfully to pore upon a book, To seek the light of truth, which truth the while Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue, if you have it not. That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat Of habits devil, is angel yet in this.
William Shakespeare
I see men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes and things outward Do draw the inward quality after them, To suffer all alike.
William Shakespeare
What the great ones do, the less will prattle of
William Shakespeare
Hang there like fruit, my soul, Till the tree die!
William Shakespeare
Our jovial star reigned at his birth.
William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
What, with my tongue in your tail? nay, come again, Good Kate I am a gentleman.
William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.
William Shakespeare
Those that do teach young babes Do it with gentle means and easy tasks.
William Shakespeare
The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.
William Shakespeare
Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep.
William Shakespeare
For a noble heart, the most precious gift becomes poor, when the giver stops loving.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem.
William Shakespeare
The seasons change their manners, as the year Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.
William Shakespeare
The king is but a man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me the element shows to him as it doth to me all his senses have but human conditions his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
William Shakespeare
Though those that are betray'd Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe
William Shakespeare
The past is prologue.
William Shakespeare
