More quotes by William Shakespeare
If it be you that stirs these daughters' hearts Against their father, fool me not so much To bear it tamely touch me with noble anger, And let not women's weapons, water drops, Stain my man's cheeks.
William Shakespeare
Are you up to your destiny?
William Shakespeare
Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' Like the poor cat i' the adage?
William Shakespeare
The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch, which hurts and is desired.
William Shakespeare
To mingle friendship far is mingling bloods.
William Shakespeare
Virtuous and fair, royal and gracious.
William Shakespeare
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
William Shakespeare
But as the unthought-on accident is guilty To what we wildly do, so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies Of every wind that blows.
William Shakespeare
Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change.
William Shakespeare
Conceal me what I am, and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
Nothing in his life became him like leaving it.
William Shakespeare
Full fathom five thy father lies Of his bones are coral made Those are pearls that were his eyes Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
William Shakespeare
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends.
William Shakespeare
A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry But were we burdened with light weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain.
William Shakespeare
The big round tears Cours'd one another down his innocent nose, In piteous chase.
William Shakespeare
Delay leads impotent and snail-paced beggary.
William Shakespeare
