More quotes by William Shakespeare
Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries, As motion and long-during action tires The sinewy vigor of the traveller.
William Shakespeare
Withal I did infer your lineaments, Being the right idea of your father, Both in your form and nobleness of mind Laid open all your victories in Scotland, Your discipline in war, wisdom in peace, Your bounty, virtue, fair humility Indeed, left nothing fitting for your purpose Untouch'd or slightly handled in discourse.
William Shakespeare
And in some perfumes there is more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound.
William Shakespeare
Hold, or cut bowstrings.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
William Shakespeare
God mark thee to His grace! Thou was the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And might I live to see thee married once, I have my wish.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
POLONIUS: What do you read, my lord? HAMLET: Words, words, words.
William Shakespeare
Security is the chief enemy of mortals.
William Shakespeare
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
O shame, where is thy blush?
William Shakespeare
I think the devil will not have me damned, lest the oil that's in me should set hell on fire.
William Shakespeare
Falsehood falsehood cures
William Shakespeare
O comfort-killing night, image of hell, Dim register and notary of shame, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell, Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!
William Shakespeare
See where she comes apparelled like the spring.
William Shakespeare
