More quotes by William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. But God be thanked. . . .
William Shakespeare
One sin, I know, another doth provoke. Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke.
William Shakespeare
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate his tears pure messengers sent from his heart his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth
William Shakespeare
But whate'er I am, nor I nor any man that but man is, With nothing shall be pleased 'til he be eased With being nothing.
William Shakespeare
Were it good To set the exact wealth of all our states All at one cast? to set so rich a main On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour? It were not good.
William Shakespeare
If after every tempest come such calms, May the winds blow till they have waken'd death!

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But virtue never will be mov'd, Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven.
William Shakespeare
The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place, Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, Office, and custom, in all line of order.
William Shakespeare
Tis but a base, ignoble mind That mounts no higher than a bird can soar.
William Shakespeare
It is lost at dice, what ancient honor won.

What's done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed.
William Shakespeare
Great men should drink with harness on their throats.
William Shakespeare
