Time is like a fashionable host That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, And with his arm outstretch'd, as he would fly, Grasps in the comer.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Death rock me asleep.
William Shakespeare
My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming I love not less, though less the show appear: That love is merchandised whose rich esteeming The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
William Shakespeare
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind So flew'd, so sanded their heads are hung with ears that sweep away the morning dew.
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
But I remember now I am in this earthly world, where to do harm Is often laudable, to do good sometime Accounted dangerous folly.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men And being men, hearing the will of Caesar, It will inflame you, it will make you mad.
William Shakespeare
O polished perturbation! golden care! That keep'st the ports of slumber open wide To many a watchful night.
William Shakespeare
Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.
William Shakespeare
Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?
William Shakespeare
Dreams are the children of idled minds.
William Shakespeare
Have more than you show, Speak less than you know.
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes fathers that children with their judgment looked and either may be wrong.
William Shakespeare
Let fancy still in my sense in Lethe steep If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!
William Shakespeare
Weep not, sweet queen, for trickling tears are vain.
William Shakespeare
He must needs go that the devil drives.
William Shakespeare
Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures.
William Shakespeare
Benvolio- By my head, here come the Capulets. Mercutio- By my heel, I care not.
William Shakespeare
My father names me Autolycus, who being, as I am, littered under Mercury, was likewise a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.
William Shakespeare
Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself.
William Shakespeare
