All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.
William Shakespeare
Vile worm, thou wast o'erlook'd even in thy birth.
William Shakespeare
I have heard it said There is an art which in their piedness shares With great creating nature.
William Shakespeare
The undeserver may sleep when the man of action is called on.
William Shakespeare
O Judgment ! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason !
William Shakespeare
She marking them begins a wailing note And sings extemporally a woeful ditty How love makes young men thrall and old men dote How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, And still the choir of echoes answer so.
William Shakespeare
The Thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman and to be King Stands not within the prospect of belief, No more than to be Cawdor.
William Shakespeare
There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.
William Shakespeare
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Mercutio: If love be rough with you, be rough with love.
William Shakespeare
Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare
Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare
Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low.
William Shakespeare
A hit, a very palpable hit.
William Shakespeare
Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.
William Shakespeare
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.
William Shakespeare
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
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
William Shakespeare
For now they kill me with a living death.
William Shakespeare
I am a foe to tyrants, and my country's friend.
William Shakespeare
