More quotes by William Shakespeare
From this time forth My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
William Shakespeare
If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils, and men with flatterers
William Shakespeare
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
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
Men so noble, However faulty, yet should find respect For what they have been: 'tis a cruelty To load a falling man.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
My purpose is, indeed, a horse of that color.
William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare
Lawn as white as driven snow Cyprus black as e'er was crow Gloves as sweet as damask roses.
William Shakespeare
Suit the action to the word : the word to the action : with this special observance that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.
William Shakespeare
The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.
William Shakespeare
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
The error of our eye directs our mind. What error leads must err.
William Shakespeare
To be a well-favoured man is the gift of fortune but to write and read comes by nature.
William Shakespeare
Fairies, black, grey, green, and white, You moonshine revellers, and shades of night, You orphan heirs of fixed destiny, Attend your office and your quality.
William Shakespeare
Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.
William Shakespeare
thou art the best o' the cut-throats
William Shakespeare
God bless thee and put meekness in thy breast, Love, charity, obedience, and true duty!
William Shakespeare
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
William Shakespeare
There was a star danced, and under that was I born.
William Shakespeare
