There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord: she is never sad but when she sleeps and not ever sad then for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Tis much when sceptres are in children's hands, But more when envy breeds unkind division: There comes the ruin, there begins confusion.
William Shakespeare
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.
William Shakespeare
But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
William Shakespeare
Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.
William Shakespeare
ROSENCRANTZ My lord, you must tell us where the body is, and go with us to the king. HAMLET The body is with the king, but the king is not with the body. The king is a thing - GUILDENSTERN A thing my lord? HAMLET Of nothing. Bring me to him. Hide fox, and all after!
William Shakespeare
I fill up a place, which may be better... when I have made it empty.
William Shakespeare
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures.
William Shakespeare
The crown o' the earth doth melt. My lord! O, wither'd is the garland of the war, The soldier's pole is fall'n: young boys and girls Are level now with men the odds is gone, And there is nothing left remarkable Beneath the visiting moon.
William Shakespeare
One sin, I know, another doth provoke. Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke.
William Shakespeare
The commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.
William Shakespeare
He was ever precise in promise-keeping.
William Shakespeare
No doubt they rose up early to observe the rite of May and, hearing our intent, Came here in grace of our solemnity.
William Shakespeare
The little dogs and all, Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart-see, they bark at me.
William Shakespeare
Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.
William Shakespeare
O God, I could be bound in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space – were it not that I have bad dreams.
William Shakespeare
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.
William Shakespeare
I am not mad I would to heaven I were! For then, 'tis like I should forget myself O, if I could, what grief should I forget!
William Shakespeare
The old folk, time's doting chronicles.
William Shakespeare
And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, Even so by love the young and tender wit Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Losing his verdure even in the prime, And all the fair effects of future hopes.
William Shakespeare
