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
Take pains. Be perfect.
William Shakespeare
I do not know What kind of my obedience I should tender. More than my all is nothing nor my prayers Are not words holy hallowed, nor my wishes More worth than empty vanities yet prayers and wishes Are all I can return.
William Shakespeare
Affliction is enamoured of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity.
William Shakespeare
But yet, I say, if imputation and strong circumstances, which lead directly to the door of truth, will give you satisfaction, you may have it.
William Shakespeare
I have sounded the very base-string of humility.
William Shakespeare
You shall more command with years than with your weapons.
William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait, His day's hot task hath ended in the west: The owl, night's herald, shrieks-'tis very late The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light, Do summon us to part, and bid good night.
William Shakespeare
Pray, love, remember: and there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Speak low, if you speak love.
William Shakespeare
None can cure their harms by wailing them.
William Shakespeare
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
William Shakespeare
I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world were now undone.
William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
Too nice, and yet too true!
William Shakespeare
For my own part, I shall be glad to learn of noble men.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended, if the suit be won.
William Shakespeare
Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
William Shakespeare
The wounds invisible that Love's keen arrows make.
William Shakespeare
Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!
William Shakespeare
What need the bridge much broader than the flood?
William Shakespeare
