More quotes by William Shakespeare
What is honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no.
William Shakespeare
I am your wife if you will marry me. If not, I'll die your maid. To be your fellow You may deny me, but I'll be your servant Whether you will or no.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
The commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.
William Shakespeare
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
William Shakespeare
There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
William Shakespeare
But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
William Shakespeare
Can it be That modesty may more betray our sense Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough, Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary And pitch our evils there?
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench I love her ten times more than e'er I did: O, how I long to have some chat with her!
William Shakespeare
Weep I cannot But my heart bleeds.
William Shakespeare
How can tyrants safely govern home, Unless abroad they purchase great alliance.
William Shakespeare
So we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies.
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart.
William Shakespeare
Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, more than quick words, do move a woman's mind.
William Shakespeare
And nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.
William Shakespeare
Foul whisperings are abroad
William Shakespeare
Well, I will find you twenty lascivious turtles ere one chaste man.
William Shakespeare
