Let's take the instant by the forward top For we are old, and on our quick'st decrees The inaudible and noiseless foot of Time Steals ere we can effect them.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
A plague of sighing and grief! It blows a man up like a bladder.
William Shakespeare
I'll have no husband, if you be not he.
William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
Jesters do oft prove prophets.
William Shakespeare
That is honor's scorn Which challenges itself as honor's born And is not like the sire. Honors thrive When rather from our acts we them derive Than our foregoers.
William Shakespeare
Watch tonight, pray tomorrow. Gallants, lads, boys, hearts of gold, all the titles of good fellowship come to you!
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
Comfort's in heaven, and we are on the earth
William Shakespeare
To some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies.
William Shakespeare
No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell.
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
But yet, I say, if imputation and strong circumstances, which lead directly to the door of truth, will give you satisfaction, you may have it.
William Shakespeare
They that have voice of lions and act of hares,--are they not monsters?
William Shakespeare
I cannot tell what you and other men Think of this life but, for my single self, I had as lief not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself.
William Shakespeare
Gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite The man that mocks at it and sets it light.
William Shakespeare
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day And make me travel forth without my cloak, To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, Hiding they brav'ry in their rotten smoke?
William Shakespeare
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament: They are but beggars that can count their worth But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth.
William Shakespeare
God's will! my liege, would you and I alone, Without more help, could fight this royal battle!
William Shakespeare
Men's vows are women's traitors
William Shakespeare
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
William Shakespeare
