More quotes by William Shakespeare
No sooner met but they looked no sooner looked but they loved no sooner loved but they sighed no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.
William Shakespeare
But it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in the most humorous sadness.
William Shakespeare
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare
A hit, a very palpable hit.
William Shakespeare
O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!
William Shakespeare
All pride is willing pride.
William Shakespeare
By innocence I swear, and by my youth, I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth, And that no woman has, nor never none Shall mistress be of it save I alone.
William Shakespeare
He that keeps not crust nor crum Weary of all, shall want some.
William Shakespeare
I cannot, nor I will not hold me still My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will.
William Shakespeare
Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.
William Shakespeare
I will do anything, Nerissa, ere I'll be married to a sponge.
William Shakespeare
Being holiday, the beggar's shop is shut.
William Shakespeare
We came into the world like brother and brother, And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
William Shakespeare
Nor age so eat up my invention.
William Shakespeare
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
And will he not come again? And will he not come again? No, no, he is dead. Go to thy deathbed. He never will come again.
William Shakespeare
You have lost no reputation at all, unless you repute yourself such a loser.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
Beauty within itself should not be wasted.
William Shakespeare
