I say, without characters, fame lives long.
William Shakespeare
Have I thought long to see this morning’s face, And doth it give me such a sight as this?
William Shakespeare
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
Thou frothy tickle-brained hedge-pig!
William Shakespeare
And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
William Shakespeare
A kind Of excellent dumb discourse.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.
William Shakespeare
For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood.
William Shakespeare
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
So full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical.
William Shakespeare
Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win.
William Shakespeare
How many a holy and obsequious tear hath dear religious love stolen from mine eye, as interest of the dead!
William Shakespeare
Your date is better in your pie and your porridge than in your cheek.
William Shakespeare
