More quotes by William Shakespeare
The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.
William Shakespeare
For now I stand as one upon a rock environed with a wilderness of sea, who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave, expecting ever when some envious surge will in his brinish bowels swallow him.
William Shakespeare
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Lay her i' the earth: And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, A ministering angel shall my sister be, When thou liest howling. HAMLET. What, the fair Ophelia! QUEEN GERTRUDE. Sweets to the sweet: farewell!
William Shakespeare
Take all the swift advantage of the hours.
William Shakespeare
They say, the tongues of dying men Enforce attention, like deep harmony Where words are scarce, they're seldom spent in vain For they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare
I'll note you in my book of memory.
William Shakespeare
Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius, That you would have me seek into myself For that which is not in me?
William Shakespeare
Conscience doth make cowards of us all.
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare
One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
William Shakespeare
Juliet is the east and i am the sun.
William Shakespeare
The worm is not to be trusted.
William Shakespeare
No deeper wrinkles yet? Hath sorrow struck So many blows upon this face of mine And made no deeper wounds?
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, When not to be, receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed, Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing.
William Shakespeare
You are an alchemist make gold of that.
William Shakespeare
Mechanic slaves With greasy aprons, rules, and hammers, shall Uplift us to the view.
William Shakespeare
A wicked conscience mouldeth goblins swift as frenzy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
