More quotes by William Shakespeare
If thou remeber'st not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run into, thou hast not lov'd
William Shakespeare
Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath.
William Shakespeare
I had rather eleven died nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
That is my home of love: if I have ranged, Like him that travels I return again, Just to the time, not with the time exchanged.
William Shakespeare
Gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite The man that mocks at it and sets it light.
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano!
William Shakespeare
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
William Shakespeare
And nothing can we call our own but death And that small model of the barren earth Which serves as paste and cover to our bones. For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William Shakespeare
You, and your lady, Take from my heart all thankfulness!
William Shakespeare
Past and to come, seems best things present, worse.
William Shakespeare
What can be avoided Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
William Shakespeare
My brain more busy than the labouring spider Weaves tedious snares to trap mine enemies.
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight which therein works a miracle in Nature, making them lightest that wear most of it: so are those crisped snaky golden locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a second head, the skull that bred them in the sepulchre.
William Shakespeare
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
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
Shall I compare thee to a summer day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate... When in eternal lines to time thou growst So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime...
William Shakespeare
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.
William Shakespeare
Though I be but prince of Wales, yet I am the king of courtesy.
William Shakespeare
A man cannot make him laugh but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.... If I had a thousand sons, the first human principle I would teach them should be, to forswear thin potations and to addict themselves to sack.
William Shakespeare
