Image
How many fond fools serve mad jealousy!
William Shakespeare
Image
No matter where of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth
William Shakespeare
Image
Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
Image
We make ourselves fools to disport ourselves And spend our flatteries to drink those men Upon whose age we void it up again With poisonous spite and envy.
William Shakespeare
Image
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
William Shakespeare
Image
O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!
William Shakespeare
Image
And then he drew a dial from his poke, And looking with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, 'It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see', Quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, And then from hour to hour we rot and rot.
William Shakespeare
Image
Well, God give them wisdom that have it and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
William Shakespeare
Image
We cannot fight for love, as men may do we shou'd be woo'd, and were not made to woo
William Shakespeare
Image
Oh, flatter me for love delights in praises.
William Shakespeare
Image
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
Image
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
Image
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou has no name to be known by, let us call thee devil....O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
William Shakespeare
Image
Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace. Leave gormandizing.
William Shakespeare
Image
There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
William Shakespeare
Image
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
William Shakespeare
Image
You are strangely troublesome.
William Shakespeare
Image
All difficulties are easy when they are known.
