More quotes by William Shakespeare
Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep-searched with saucy looks: Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority from others' books.
William Shakespeare
Men must learn now with pity to dispense For policy sits above conscience.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Good morrow, fair ones pray you, if you know, Where in the purlieus of this forest stands A sheep-cote fenc'd about with olive trees?
William Shakespeare
That is the way to lay the city flat, To bring the roof to the foundation, And bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, In heaps and piles of ruin.
William Shakespeare
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
William Shakespeare
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
William Shakespeare
Talkers are no good doers.
William Shakespeare
Love will not be spurred to what it loathes
William Shakespeare
Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure.
William Shakespeare
She moves me not, or not removes at least affection's edge in me.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
What, man, defy the devil. Consider, he's an enemy to mankind.
William Shakespeare
Light and lust are deadly enemies.

Weep not, sweet queen, for trickling tears are vain.
William Shakespeare
