More quotes by William Shakespeare
Before thee stands this fair Hesperides, With golden fruit, but dangerous to be touched For death-like dragons here affright thee hard.
William Shakespeare
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
William Shakespeare
Old fashions please me best I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions.
William Shakespeare
Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast...
William Shakespeare
If fortune torments me, hope contents me.
William Shakespeare
Be still prepared for death: and death or life shall thereby be the sweeter.
William Shakespeare
I will be correspondent to command, And do my spiriting gently.
William Shakespeare
Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn but I shall have my pocket picked?
William Shakespeare
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
What else may hap, to time I will commit.
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
William Shakespeare
Give me a bowl of wine. I have not that alacrity of spirit Nor cheer of mind that I was wont to have.
William Shakespeare
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day And make me travel forth without my cloak, To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, Hiding they brav'ry in their rotten smoke?
William Shakespeare
And mind, with my heart in't and now farewell Till half an hour hence.
William Shakespeare
Man and wife, being two, are one in love.
William Shakespeare
I have been studying how I may compare This prison where I live unto the world And, for because the world is populous, And here is not a creature but myself, I cannot do it. Yet I'll hammer it out.
William Shakespeare
The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.
William Shakespeare
Is it possible he should know what he is, and be that he is?
William Shakespeare
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!
William Shakespeare
We see which way the stream of time doth run.
William Shakespeare
