Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But bad mortality o'ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower?

O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
My cousin's a fool, and thou art another.
William Shakespeare
Love reasons without reason.
William Shakespeare
He capers, he dances, he has eyes of youth, he writes verses, he speaks holiday, he smells April and May.
William Shakespeare
Thou speak'st like him's untutored to repeat: Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.
William Shakespeare
As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark...so many a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.
William Shakespeare
Thus die I, thus, thus, thus. Now am I dead, Now am I fled My soul is in the sky: Tongue, lose thy light Moon take thy flight. Now die, die, die, die, die.
William Shakespeare
To stand against the deep dread-bolted thunder, In the most terrible and nimble stroke Of quick, cross lightning.
William Shakespeare
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth.
William Shakespeare
Like madness, is the glory of this life.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Refrain to-night And that shall lend a kind of easiness To the next abstinence, the next more easy For use almost can change the stamp of nature, And either master the devil or throw him out With wondrous potency.
William Shakespeare
We few. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today That sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother.
William Shakespeare
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
William Shakespeare
Love is . . . a madness most discreet
William Shakespeare
The leopard does not change his spots.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smother'd. But God be thanked. . . .
William Shakespeare
Nor age so eat up my invention.
William Shakespeare
Two women placed together makes cold weather.
William Shakespeare
