More quotes by William Shakespeare
A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage and, as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r Lady, inclining to threescore and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
An old black ram is tupping your white ewe
William Shakespeare
There's husbandry in heaven Their candles are all out.
William Shakespeare
What is thy sentence then but speechless death.
William Shakespeare
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.
William Shakespeare
Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.
William Shakespeare
Learning is but an adjunct to ourself, And where we are our learning likewise is.
William Shakespeare
Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!
William Shakespeare
There is not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself.
William Shakespeare
Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
