More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments: love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
Image
I see a woman may be made a fool, If she had not a spirit to resist.
William Shakespeare
Image
Man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assur d, glassy essence, like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven, as make the angels weep.
William Shakespeare
Image
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
Image
Mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief.
William Shakespeare
Image
What should a man do but be merry? For look you how cheerfully my mother looks, and my father died within's two hours.
William Shakespeare
Image
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
William Shakespeare
Image
These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show I am not in the roll of common men.
William Shakespeare
Image
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
Image
There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
William Shakespeare
Image
As there comes light from heaven and words from breath, As there is sense in truth and truth in virtue
William Shakespeare
Image
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
Image
And what art thou, thou idol Ceremony? What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
William Shakespeare
Image
The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
William Shakespeare
Image
Time ... thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.
William Shakespeare
Image
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
Image
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf.
William Shakespeare
Image
Listen to many, speak to a few.
William Shakespeare
Image
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
