More quotes by William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good a shining gloss that fadeth suddenly a flower that dies when it begins to bud a doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour.
William Shakespeare
Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare
Though I be but prince of Wales, yet I am the king of courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate, Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving.
William Shakespeare
What is thy sentence then but speechless death.
William Shakespeare
I am a subject, And I challenge law. Attorneys are denied me, And therefore personally I lay my claim To my inheritance of free descent.
William Shakespeare
Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?
William Shakespeare
The world must be peopled!
William Shakespeare
Heaven would that she these gifts should have, and I to live and die her slave.
William Shakespeare
But whate'er I am, nor I nor any man that but man is, With nothing shall be pleased 'til he be eased With being nothing.
William Shakespeare
If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' shell.
William Shakespeare
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
...an old man is twice a child.
William Shakespeare
Though I am not naturally honest, I am sometimes so by chance.
William Shakespeare
A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
William Shakespeare
. . from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done.
William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel.
William Shakespeare
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together: Youth is full of pleasance, age is full of care.
William Shakespeare
As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, at turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant, as earth to centre.
William Shakespeare
