More quotes by William Shakespeare
He that dies pays all debts.
William Shakespeare
A noble shalt thou have, and present pay And liquor likewise will I give to thee, And friendship shall combine, and brotherhood.
William Shakespeare
He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a million laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated my enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew.
William Shakespeare
Coward dogs most spend their mouths when what they seem to threaten runs far before them.
William Shakespeare
The weakest kind of fruit drops earliest to the ground.
William Shakespeare
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
If yon bethink yourself of any crime Unreconcil'd as yet to heaven and grace, Solicit for it straight.
William Shakespeare
You are yoked with a lamb, That carries anger as the flint bears fire Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spank, And straight is cold again.
William Shakespeare
A turn or two I'll walk To still my beating mind.
William Shakespeare
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward, But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
William Shakespeare
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
William Shakespeare
He is not great who is not greatly good.
William Shakespeare
We should hold day with the Antipodes, If you would walk in absence of the sun.
William Shakespeare
Shall we upon the footing of our land Send fair-play orders, and make compromise, Insinuation, parley, and base truce, To arms invasive?
William Shakespeare
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
Greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare
[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
How lush and lusty the grass looks! how green!
William Shakespeare
He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument.
William Shakespeare
