More quotes by William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
Th abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
God is our fortress, in whose conquering name Let us resolve to scale their flinty bulwarks.
William Shakespeare
But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
William Shakespeare
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
William Shakespeare
Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee!
William Shakespeare
...an old man is twice a child.
William Shakespeare
What a fool honesty is.
William Shakespeare
You dull ass will not mend his pace with beating.
William Shakespeare
But when the fox hath once got in his nose, He'll soon find means to make the body follow.
William Shakespeare
And send him many years of sunshine days!
William Shakespeare
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
William Shakespeare
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
William Shakespeare
Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.
William Shakespeare
The quality of mercy is not strained
William Shakespeare
Sometimes we are devils to ourselves When we will tempt the frailty of our powers, Presuming on their changeful potency.
William Shakespeare
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry.
William Shakespeare
