More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
She is your treasure, she must have a husband I must dance bare-foot on her wedding day, And, for your love to her, lead apes in hell.
William Shakespeare
Image
There is plenty of time to sleep in the grave
William Shakespeare
Image
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day, As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by-and-by black night doth take away.
William Shakespeare
Image
The native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought and enterprises of great pitch and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action.
William Shakespeare
Image
love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit
William Shakespeare
Image
I pray you bear me henceforth from the noise and rumour of the field, where I may think the remnant of my thoughts in peace, and part of this body and my soul with contemplation and devout desires.
William Shakespeare
Image
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.
William Shakespeare
Image
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
William Shakespeare
Image
Tis not a year or two shows us a man: They are all but stomachs, and we all but food They eat us hungerly, and when they are full They belch us.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service
William Shakespeare
Image
Mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief.
William Shakespeare
Image
I once did hold it, as our statists do, A baseness to write fair, and labour'd much How to forget that learning but, sir, now It did me yeoman's service.
William Shakespeare
Image
That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.
William Shakespeare
Image
A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story
William Shakespeare
Image
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou art the Mars of malcontents.
William Shakespeare
Image
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short youth is nimble, age is lame Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and age is tame.
William Shakespeare
Image
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
Image
And be these juggling friends no more believ'd, That palter with us in a double sense That keep the word of promise to our ear And break it to our hope.
William Shakespeare
Image
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
