More quotes by William Shakespeare
We must be gentle now we are gentlemen.
William Shakespeare
I love thee, I love thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
William Shakespeare
Thou art most rich, being poor Most choice, forsaken and most lov'd, despis'd! Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon.
William Shakespeare
Temptation: the fiend at my elbow.
William Shakespeare
Ask me no reason why I love you for though Love use Reason for his physician, he admits him not for his counsellor.
William Shakespeare
in black ink my love may still shine bright.
William Shakespeare
Her virtues, graced with external gifts, Do breed love's settled passions in my heart And like as rigour of tempestuous gusts Provokes the mightiest hulk against the tide, So am I driven by breath of her renown Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Where I may have fruition of her love.
William Shakespeare
And send him many years of sunshine days!
William Shakespeare
My love is as a fever, longing still For that which longer nurseth the disease, Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, Th' uncertain sickly appetite to please. My reason, the physician to my love, Angry that his prescriptions are not kept, Hath left me, and I desperate now approve Desire is death, which physic did except.
William Shakespeare
For I am fresh of spirit, and resolved To meet all perils very constantly.
William Shakespeare
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.
William Shakespeare
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
The villany you teach me I shall execute and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
William Shakespeare
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
For where thou art, there is the world itself, With every several pleasure in the world, And where thou art not, desolation.
William Shakespeare
Constant you are, But yet a woman and for secrecy, No lady closer for I well believe Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know.
William Shakespeare
Let the end try the man.
William Shakespeare
We cannot fight for love, as men may do we shou'd be woo'd, and were not made to woo
William Shakespeare
How poor are they that have have not patients.
William Shakespeare
