More quotes by William Shakespeare
She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
William Shakespeare
To be slow in words is a woman's only virtue.
William Shakespeare
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
Conscience doth make cowards of us all.
William Shakespeare
Cursed be he that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good so find we profit By losing of our prayers.
William Shakespeare
Opinion crowns with an imperial voice.
William Shakespeare
The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance, be thine in great revenue!
William Shakespeare
How long a time lies in one little word?
William Shakespeare
Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.
William Shakespeare
I'll look to like if looking, liking move.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
O sir, you are old nature in you stands on the very verge of her confine you should be ruled and led by some discretion, that discerns your fate better than you yourself.
William Shakespeare
But yet, I say, if imputation and strong circumstances, which lead directly to the door of truth, will give you satisfaction, you may have it.
William Shakespeare
