More quotes by William Shakespeare
This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven.
William Shakespeare
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death.
William Shakespeare
Reflection is the business of man a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in joy? Is it not in mercy then that sorrow is allotted unto us?
William Shakespeare
Graze on my lips and if those hills be dry, stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
William Shakespeare
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings.
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
If all the year were playing holidays To sport would be as tedious as to work.
William Shakespeare
The king-becoming graces, As justice, verity, temp'rance, stableness, Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness, Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude, I have no relish of them, but abound In the division of each several crime, Acting in many ways.
William Shakespeare
Justice always whirls in equal measure.
William Shakespeare
The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
William Shakespeare
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born, To signify thou camest to bite the world.
William Shakespeare
Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast but thy good spirits To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
William Shakespeare
RUMOUR: Upon my tongues continual slanders ride, The which in every language I pronounce, Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.
William Shakespeare
Mine eyes Were not in fault, for she was beautiful Mine ears, that heard her flattery nor my heart, That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious To have mistrusted her.
William Shakespeare
This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, Which gives men stomach to digest his words With better appetite.
William Shakespeare
His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch, and his countenance enforces homage. He is indeed a horse.
William Shakespeare
Some kinds of baseness are nobly undergone.
William Shakespeare
The iron tongue of Midnight hath told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis almost fairy time. I fear we shall outstep the coming morn as much as we this night over-watch'd.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate... When in eternal lines to time thou growst So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
Love is a wonderful, terrible thing
William Shakespeare
