More quotes by William Shakespeare
No doubt they rose up early to observe the rite of May and, hearing our intent, Came here in grace of our solemnity.
William Shakespeare
She moves me not, or not removes at least affection's edge in me.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
It is not vain glory for a man and his glass to confer in his own chamber.
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
Why, all delights are vain but that most vain, Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.
William Shakespeare
Let me be boiled to death with melancholy.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I despised my arrival on this earth and I despise my departure it is a tragedy.
William Shakespeare
All that glitters is not gold.
William Shakespeare
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.
William Shakespeare
This act is an ancient tale new told And, in the last repeating, troublesome, Being urged at a time unseasonable.
William Shakespeare
Hopeless and helpless doth Egeon wend, But to procrastinate his liveless end.
William Shakespeare
Pain pays the income of each precious thing.
William Shakespeare
Then is it sin to rush into the secret house of death. Ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
William Shakespeare
Look, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east! Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tip-toe on the misty mountain-tops.
William Shakespeare
The thing of courage As rous'd with rage doth sympathise, And, with an accent tun'd in self-same key, Retorts to chiding fortune.
William Shakespeare
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry! England and Saint George!
William Shakespeare
I am not in the roll of common men.
William Shakespeare
