More quotes by William Shakespeare
Men of few words are the best men. (3.2.41)
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.
William Shakespeare
Lay her i' the earth: And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, A ministering angel shall my sister be, When thou liest howling. HAMLET. What, the fair Ophelia! QUEEN GERTRUDE. Sweets to the sweet: farewell!
William Shakespeare
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare
Heaven - the treasury of everlasting life.
William Shakespeare
As love is full of unbefitting strains, All wanton as a child, skipping and vain, Form'd by the eye and therefore, like the eye, Full of strange shapes, of habits and of forms, Varying in subjects as the eye doth roll To every varied object in his glance
William Shakespeare
For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
William Shakespeare
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day And make me travel forth without my cloak, To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, Hiding they brav'ry in their rotten smoke?
William Shakespeare
You are made Rather to wonder at the things you hear Than to work any.
William Shakespeare
Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud.
William Shakespeare
she shall scant show well that now shows best.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
William Shakespeare
Strong reasons make strong actions.
William Shakespeare
He receives comfort like cold porridge.
William Shakespeare
He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
William Shakespeare
The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Burnt on the water.
William Shakespeare
It is held that valor is the chiefest virtue, and most dignifies the haver.
William Shakespeare
All furnished, all in arms All plum'd like estridges that with the wind Bated like eagles having lately bathed Glittering in golden coats like images As full of spirit as the month of May And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
William Shakespeare
