More quotes by William Shakespeare
A heavy heart bears not a nimble tongue.
William Shakespeare
Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.— Joy, gentle friends! joy and fresh days of love Accompany your hearts!
William Shakespeare
The king is but a man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me the element shows to him as it doth to me all his senses have but human conditions his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
William Shakespeare
When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.
William Shakespeare
Flesh and blood, You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition, Expell'd remorse and nature, who, with Sebastian- Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong- Would here have kill'd your king, I do forgive thee, Unnatural though thou art.
William Shakespeare
She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed She is a woman, therefore to be won.
William Shakespeare
A contract of eternal bond of love, Confirm'd by mutual joinder of your hands, Arrested by the holy close of lips, Strength'ned by the interchangement of your rings, And all the ceremony of this compact Seal'd in my function, by my testimony.
William Shakespeare
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.
William Shakespeare
Silence is the perfect herald of joy.
William Shakespeare
Our enemies are our outward consciences.
William Shakespeare
A harmless necessary cat.
William Shakespeare
Security is the chief enemy of mortals.
William Shakespeare
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
William Shakespeare
Men that make Envy and crooked malice nourishment, Dare bite the best.
William Shakespeare
The apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
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
If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The one's for use, the other useth it.
William Shakespeare
We bring forth weeds when our quick minds lie still.
William Shakespeare
Mean and mighty, rotting Together, have one dust.
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
