You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
The apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
Now the time is come, That France must veil her lofty-plumed crest, And let her head fall into England's lap.
William Shakespeare
When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies.
William Shakespeare
His worst fault is, he's given to prayer he is something peevish that way.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it.
William Shakespeare
Dissembling courtesy! How fine this tyrant can trickle when she wounds!
William Shakespeare
Ships are but boards, sailors but men.
William Shakespeare
O, how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors.
William Shakespeare
Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.
William Shakespeare
That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave, Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
William Shakespeare
What made me love thee? let that persuade thee, there's something extraordinary in thee
William Shakespeare
Let not the world see fear and sad distrust govern the motion of a kingly eye.
William Shakespeare
There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow.
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
William Shakespeare
Use almost can change the stamp of nature.
William Shakespeare
Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair, Playing in the wanton air: Through the velvet leaves the wind, All unseen can passage find That the lover, sick to death, Wish'd himself the heaven's breath.
William Shakespeare
