More quotes by William Shakespeare
Nature does require her time of preservation, which perforce, I her frail son amongst my brethren mortal, must give my attendance to.
William Shakespeare
Reflection is the business of man a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in joy? Is it not in mercy then that sorrow is allotted unto us?
William Shakespeare
There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face.
William Shakespeare
A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
They lie deadly that tell you have good faces.
William Shakespeare
You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air, I banish you And here remain with your uncertainty!
William Shakespeare
This we prescribe, though no physician Deep malice makes too deep incision Forget, forgive conclude and be agreed Our doctors say this is no month to bleed.
William Shakespeare
I love thee, and it is my love that speaks
William Shakespeare
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
William Shakespeare
Mine honor is my life, both grow in one. Take honor from me, and my life is done. Then, dear my liege, mine honor let me try In that I live, and for that I will die.
William Shakespeare
That England, that was wont to conquer others, Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
William Shakespeare
That but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'ld jump the life to come.
William Shakespeare
All thy vexations Were but my trials of thy love, and thou Hast strangely stood the test here, afore heaven, I ratify this my rich gift.
William Shakespeare
In scorn of nature, art gave lifeless life.
William Shakespeare
Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.
William Shakespeare
So will I turn her virtue into pitch, And out of her own goodness make the net That shall enmesh them all.
William Shakespeare
I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.(IAGO,ActI,SceneI)
William Shakespeare
Then will I raise aloft the milk-white rose. For whose sweet smell the air shall be perfumed.
William Shakespeare
