More quotes by William Shakespeare
When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.
William Shakespeare
The tyrant custom, most grave senators, Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war My thrice-driven bed of down.
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
The time is out of joint.
William Shakespeare
Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight.
William Shakespeare
I rather would entreat thy company To see the wonders of the world abroad, Than, living dully sluggardized at home, Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.
William Shakespeare
We wound our modesty and make foul the clearness of our deservings, when of ourselves we publish them.
William Shakespeare
It is a wise father that knows his own child.
William Shakespeare
And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see, quoth he, how the world wags.
William Shakespeare
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
The sands are number'd that make up my life Here must I stay, and here my life must end.
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
JAQUES: Rosalind is your love's name? ORLANDO: Yes, just. JAQUES: I do not like her name. ORLANDO: There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives.
William Shakespeare
My desolation does begin to make A better life.
William Shakespeare
Such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
Love sees with the heart and not with mind.
William Shakespeare
Plenty and peace breed cowards hardness ever of hardiness is mother.
William Shakespeare
The painful warrior famous for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil'd, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
William Shakespeare
