More quotes by William Shakespeare
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.
William Shakespeare
Every man has a bag hanging before him, in which he puts his neighbour's faults, and another behind him in which he stows his own.
William Shakespeare
What is honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Lend less than you owe.
William Shakespeare
Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty.

William Shakespeare
The venom clamours of a jealous woman poison more deadly than a mad dog's tooth.
William Shakespeare
My nature is subdued to what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
William Shakespeare
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.
William Shakespeare
He was ever precise in promise-keeping.
William Shakespeare
Affliction may one day smile again and till then, sit thee down, sorrow!.
William Shakespeare
Unsubstantial Death is amorous.
William Shakespeare
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
William Shakespeare
Such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
