More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
There should be hours for necessities, not for delights times to repair our nature with comforting repose, and not for us to waste these times.
William Shakespeare
Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything.
William Shakespeare
What can be avoided Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
William Shakespeare
Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
O that men's ears should be To counsel deaf but not to flattery!
William Shakespeare
How wayward is this foolish love that, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse and presently, all humble, kiss the rod.
William Shakespeare
He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing, in the figure of a lamb, the feats of a lion.
William Shakespeare
