More quotes by William Shakespeare
O that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth! Then with passion would I shake the world, And rouse from sleep that fell anatomy Which cannot hear a lady's feeble voice, Which scorns a modern invocation.
William Shakespeare
The poorest service is repaid with thanks.
William Shakespeare
Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
William Shakespeare
All's well if all ends well.

William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I am as true as truth's simplicity, And simpler than the infancy of truth.
William Shakespeare
Do all men kill the things they do not love?
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity. O that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!
William Shakespeare
But to my mind, though I am native here, And to the manner born, it is a custom, More honored in the breach than the observance.
William Shakespeare
