More quotes by William Shakespeare
Hot and hasty, like a Scotch jig.
William Shakespeare
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth.
William Shakespeare
O Ceremony, show me but thy worth? What is thy soul of adoration? Art thou aught else but place, degree, and form, Creating awe and fear in other men?
William Shakespeare
If the boy have not a woman's gift To rain a shower of commanded tears, An onion will do well for such a shift.
William Shakespeare
Allow not nature more than nature needs.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A ministering angel shall my sister be.
William Shakespeare
I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause But rather reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good, but given unsought better.
William Shakespeare
O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle.
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
It is lost at dice, what ancient honor won.
William Shakespeare
I will despair, and be at enmity With cozening hope.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue.
William Shakespeare
Heaven take my soul, and England keep my bones!
William Shakespeare
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
William Shakespeare
What power is it which mounts my love so high, that makes me see, and cannot feed mine eye
William Shakespeare
Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?
William Shakespeare
You have lost no reputation at all, unless you repute yourself such a loser.
William Shakespeare
Love thyself last, cherish those hearts that hate thee Corruption wins not more than honesty.
William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
