More quotes by William Shakespeare
I love a ballad in print o' life, for then we are sure they are true.
William Shakespeare
Full fathom five thy father lies Of his bones are coral made Those are pearls that were his eyes Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.
William Shakespeare
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lillies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
William Shakespeare
Evermore thanks, the exchequer of the poor
William Shakespeare
Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: ‘tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil
William Shakespeare
At once, good night- Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he. We are two lions litter’d in one day, and I the elder and more terrible.
William Shakespeare
What? do I love her, that I desire to hear her speak again, and feast upon her eyes
William Shakespeare
When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.
William Shakespeare
So doth the greater glory dim the less: A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by.
William Shakespeare
So many miseries have craz'd my voice, That my woe-wearied tongue is still and mute.
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
William Shakespeare
Let us kill all lawyers
William Shakespeare
Well, God's above all and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved.
William Shakespeare
