More quotes by William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William Shakespeare
Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honor for an inward toil And, for unfelt imaginations, They often feel a world of restless cares.
William Shakespeare
This fell sergeant, Death, Is strict in his arrest.
William Shakespeare
So full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical.
William Shakespeare
I would give all of my fame for a pot of ale and safety.
William Shakespeare
Contention, like a horse, Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose, And bears down all before him.
William Shakespeare
I'll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hacked.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, it best agrees with night
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
But as the unthought-on accident is guilty To what we wildly do, so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies Of every wind that blows.
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
I despised my arrival on this earth and I despise my departure it is a tragedy.
William Shakespeare
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare
A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
William Shakespeare
How quickly nature falls into revolt When gold becomes her object! For this the foolish over-careful fathers Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care, Their bones with industry.
William Shakespeare
To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience, and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation: To this point I stand,-- That both the worlds I give to negligence, Let come what comes only I'll be reveng'd.
William Shakespeare
This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o-erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire.
William Shakespeare
But men are men the best sometimes forget.
William Shakespeare
Make use of time, let not advantage slip Beauty within itself should not be wasted: Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime Rot and consume themselves in little time.
William Shakespeare
Is it possible he should know what he is, and be that he is?
William Shakespeare
