More quotes by William Shakespeare
The devil knew what he did when he made men politic he crossed himself by it.
William Shakespeare
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare
Sin, that amends, is but patched with virtue.
William Shakespeare
Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honor for an inward toil And, for unfelt imaginations, They often feel a world of restless cares.
William Shakespeare
The attempt and not the deed confounds us.
William Shakespeare
Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
William Shakespeare
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
William Shakespeare
Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils.
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
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
He that dies pays all debts.
William Shakespeare
Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man.
William Shakespeare
Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is chok'd with foul ambition
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
I have unclasp'd to thee the book even of my secret soul.
William Shakespeare
Whatever praises itself but in the deed, devours the deed in the praise.
William Shakespeare
What showers arise, blown with the windy tempest of my heart
William Shakespeare
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
William Shakespeare
I have not slept one wink.
William Shakespeare
