More quotes by William Shakespeare
Learning is but an adjunct to ourself, And where we are our learning likewise is.
William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won. When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learnt to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on. And when I mastered the art of hating, somebody started loving me.
William Shakespeare
I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book!
William Shakespeare
Things at the worst will cease or else climb upward To what they were before.
William Shakespeare
Who alone suffers suffers most i' th' mind, Leaving free things and happy shows behind But then the mind much sufferance doth o'erskip When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.
William Shakespeare
Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn but I shall have my pocket picked?
William Shakespeare
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!
William Shakespeare
Most friendship is faining, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh-ho, the holly. This life is most jolly.
William Shakespeare
Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.
William Shakespeare
Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time.
William Shakespeare
World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.
William Shakespeare
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
William Shakespeare
God defend the right.
William Shakespeare
Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love.
William Shakespeare
A good heart is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.
William Shakespeare
If by chance I talk a little wild, forgive me I had it from my father.
William Shakespeare
Have you not heard it said full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught?
William Shakespeare
There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
William Shakespeare
