More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir That fair for which love groan'd for and would die, With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
William Shakespeare
If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, 'This poet lies Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
William Shakespeare
Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
William Shakespeare
Highly fed and lowly taught.
William Shakespeare
Come, go with us, speak fair you may salve so, Not what is dangerous present, but the los Of what is past.
William Shakespeare
Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
William Shakespeare
Pain pays the income of each precious thing.
William Shakespeare
And in some perfumes there is more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound.
William Shakespeare
Give me that man that is not passion's slave, and I will wear him in my heart's core, in my heart of heart, as I do thee.
William Shakespeare
It will have blood, they say blood will have blood.
William Shakespeare
Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?
William Shakespeare
Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow. Come, mourn with me for what I do lament, And put sullen black incontinent. I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land To wash this blood off from my guilty hand. March sadly after. Grace my mournings here In weeping after this untimely bier.
William Shakespeare
So will I turn her virtue into pitch, And out of her own goodness make the net That shall enmesh them all.
William Shakespeare
Avaunt, you cullions!
William Shakespeare
The present eye praises the present object.
William Shakespeare
I'll make my heaven in a lady's lap
William Shakespeare
So holy writ in babes hath judgment shown When judges have been babes great floods have flown From simple sources, and great seas have dried When miracles have by the greatest been denied.
William Shakespeare
So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.
William Shakespeare
Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
William Shakespeare
