More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
Tis not a year or two shows us a man: They are all but stomachs, and we all but food They eat us hungerly, and when they are full They belch us.
William Shakespeare
The people are the city.
William Shakespeare
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
William Shakespeare
I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
William Shakespeare
Hardness ever of hardness is mother.
William Shakespeare
In the modesty of fearful duty, I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence.
William Shakespeare
I pray you bear me henceforth from the noise and rumour of the field, where I may think the remnant of my thoughts in peace, and part of this body and my soul with contemplation and devout desires.
William Shakespeare
Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose to the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude, and in the calmest and most stillest night, with all appliances and means to boot, deny it to a king?
William Shakespeare
Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.
William Shakespeare
We will meet and there we may rehearse most obscenely and courageously.
William Shakespeare
Though Death be poor, it ends a mortal woe.
William Shakespeare
Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
William Shakespeare
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
William Shakespeare
And what’s he then that says I play the villain?
William Shakespeare
They have been grand-jurymen since before Noah was a sailor
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
