More quotes by William Shakespeare
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
I had rather chop this hand off at a blow, And with the other fling it at thy face.
William Shakespeare
If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The one's for use, the other useth it.
William Shakespeare
There's not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the shoulders like a herald's coat without sleeves.
William Shakespeare
Leave us to our free election.
William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
William Shakespeare
O, that our fathers would applause our loves, To seal our happiness with hteir consents!
William Shakespeare
Let not our babbling dreams affright our souls Conscience is but a work that cowards use, Devised at first to keep the strong in awe: Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law!
William Shakespeare
There is no such sport as sport by sport o'erthrown.
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
Where hateful Death put on his ugliest mask.
William Shakespeare
We must follow, not force Providence.
William Shakespeare
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
William Shakespeare
Fight valiantly to-day and yet I do thee wrong to mind thee of it, for thou art framed of the firm truth of valor.
William Shakespeare
Lay on, McDuff, and be damned he who first cries, 'Hold, enough!
William Shakespeare
Thou know'st 'tis common all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Un-thread the rude eye of rebellion, and welcome home again discarded faith.
William Shakespeare
Be wary then best safety lies in fear.
William Shakespeare
