More quotes by William Shakespeare
If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
William Shakespeare
Wolves and bears, they say, casting their savagery aside, have done like offices of pity.
William Shakespeare
When I waked, I cried to dream again
William Shakespeare
The proverb is something musty.
William Shakespeare
Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself are much condemned to have an itching palm.
William Shakespeare
Never he will not: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny, who sways, not as it hath power, but as it is suffered.
William Shakespeare
Comfort's in heaven, and we are on the earth
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
The nature of bad news affects the teller.
William Shakespeare
The patient must minister to himself
William Shakespeare
There is a kind of character in thy life, That to the observer doth thy history, fully unfold.
William Shakespeare
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
William Shakespeare
What, no more ceremony? See, my women! Against the blown rose may they stop their nose That kneel'd unto the buds.
William Shakespeare
Let us be Diana's foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon
William Shakespeare
But like of each thing that in season grows.
William Shakespeare
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
