More quotes by William Shakespeare
The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs, Losing both beauty and utility.
William Shakespeare
There's no trust, No faith, no honesty in men all perjured, All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.
William Shakespeare
So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
What made me love thee? let that persuade thee, there's something extraordinary in thee
William Shakespeare
Press not a falling man too far 'tis virtue: His faults lie open to the laws let them, Not you, correct him.
William Shakespeare
And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
I do profess to be no less than I seem to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest to converse with him that is wise, and says little to fear judgment to fight when I cannot choose and to eat no fish.
William Shakespeare
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem.
William Shakespeare
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.
William Shakespeare
What: is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?
William Shakespeare
When beggars die, there are no comets seen the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
William Shakespeare
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
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
It was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times before their deaths The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
William Shakespeare
When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies.
William Shakespeare
How use doth breed a habit in a man.
William Shakespeare
