More quotes by William Shakespeare
...too much sadness hath congealed your blood,And melancholy is the nurse of frenzy.
William Shakespeare
Time is a very bankrupt and owes more than he's worth to season. Nay, he's a thief too: have you not heard men say, That Time comes stealing on by night and day?
William Shakespeare
Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
Tis in my memory lock'd, And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
William Shakespeare
Plutus himself, That knows the tinct and multiplying med'cine, Hath not in nature's mystery more science Than I have in this ring.
William Shakespeare
While thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head.
William Shakespeare
Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.
William Shakespeare
For to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
William Shakespeare
Faint heart never won fair maid.
William Shakespeare
I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away.
William Shakespeare
Well could he ride, and often men would say, That horse his mettle from his rider takes: Proud of subjection, noble by the sway, What rounds, what bounds, what course, what stop he makes! And controversy hence a question takes, Whether the horse by him became his deed, Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
William Shakespeare
'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.
William Shakespeare
And what art thou, thou idol Ceremony? What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
William Shakespeare
O gentle son, Upon the heat and flame of thy distemper, sprinkle cool patience.
William Shakespeare
For so work the honey bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
William Shakespeare
Gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite The man that mocks at it and sets it light.
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue if you have it not.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
