William Shakespeare
Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home, And so am come abroad to see the world.
William Shakespeare
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
William Shakespeare
And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
William Shakespeare
Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion. I am sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
William Shakespeare
Where souls do couch on flowers we'll hand in hand.
William Shakespeare
Come, Lady, die to live.

Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long / To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
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
All furnished, all in arms All plum'd like estridges that with the wind Bated like eagles having lately bathed Glittering in golden coats like images As full of spirit as the month of May And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
William Shakespeare
Good God, the souls of all my tribe defend From jealousy!
William Shakespeare
Though she be but little, she is fierce!
William Shakespeare
I'll look to like if looking, liking move.
William Shakespeare
Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.
William Shakespeare
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
William Shakespeare
Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
William Shakespeare
