More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Take pains. Be perfect.
William Shakespeare
Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back, When gold and silver becks me to come on.
William Shakespeare
Refrain to-night And that shall lend a kind of easiness To the next abstinence, the next more easy For use almost can change the stamp of nature, And either master the devil or throw him out With wondrous potency.
William Shakespeare
Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back.

William Shakespeare
There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
William Shakespeare
That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave, Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
William Shakespeare
I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercise.
William Shakespeare
The old folk, time's doting chronicles.
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
Honor, riches, marriage-blessing Long continuance, and increasing, Hourly joys be still upon you!
William Shakespeare
Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, Drink off this potion!
William Shakespeare
O, I do not like that paying back, 'tis a double labor.
William Shakespeare
