My business was great, and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Still it cried ‘Sleep no more!’ to all the house: ‘Glamis hath murder’d sleep, and therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more,—Macbeth shall sleep no more!
William Shakespeare
Some falls the means are happier to rise.
William Shakespeare
Take heed, dear heart, of this large privilege The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.
William Shakespeare
Downy sleep, death's counterfeit.
William Shakespeare
Keep time! How sour sweet music is when time is broke and no proportion kept! So is it in the music of men's lives. I wasted time and now doth time waste me.
William Shakespeare
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
For the success, Although particular, shall give a scantling Of good or bad unto the general And in such indexes, although small pricks To their subsequent volumes, there is seen The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come at large.
William Shakespeare
Fear not, Cesario, take thy fortunes up. Be that thou know'st thou art and then thou art as great as that thou fear'st.
William Shakespeare
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
William Shakespeare
Were't not for laughing, I should pity him.
William Shakespeare
For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give.
William Shakespeare
I hope to see London once ere I die.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy, In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!
William Shakespeare
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.
William Shakespeare
So we grew together like to a double cherry, seeming parted, but yet an union in partition, two lovely berries molded on one stem.
William Shakespeare
Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you.
William Shakespeare
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench I love her ten times more than e'er I did: O, how I long to have some chat with her!
William Shakespeare
