More quotes by William Shakespeare
CLEOPATRA: If it be love indeed, tell me how much. ANTONY: There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned. CLEOPATRA: I'll set a bourne how far to be belov'd. ANTONY: Then must thou needs find out new heaven, new earth.

The strawberry grows underneath the nettle And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Lions make leopards tame.
William Shakespeare
It was a lover and his lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o'er the green corn-field did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding Sweet lovers love the spring.
William Shakespeare
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
William Shakespeare
My nature is subdued to what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
William Shakespeare
A stirring dwarf we do allowance give Before a sleeping giant.
William Shakespeare
Who are the violets now That strew the lap of the new-come spring?

Do all men kill the things they do not love?

But earthlier happy is the rose distill'd Than that which withering on the virgin thorn Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.
William Shakespeare
