More quotes by William Shakespeare
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
What can be avoided Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
William Shakespeare
Lady, you are the cruel'st she alive If you will lead these graces to the grave And leave the world no copy.

William Shakespeare
What valor were it, when a cur doth grin, for one to thrust his hand between his teeth, when he might spurn him with his foot away?
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
Evermore thanks, the exchequer of the poor
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, Drink off this potion!
William Shakespeare
Time goes on crutches till love have all his rites.
William Shakespeare
The smallest worm will turn being trodden on, And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood.
William Shakespeare
Faint heart never won fair maid.
William Shakespeare
He is the half part of a blessed man, Left to be finished by such as she And she a fair divided excellence, Whose fullness of perfection lies in him.
William Shakespeare
Well, if Fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for this gear.
William Shakespeare
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
William Shakespeare
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73
William Shakespeare
