More quotes by William Shakespeare
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use, Revolts from true birth stumbling on abuse.
William Shakespeare
If I were a woman I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me, complexions that liked me and breaths that I defied not
William Shakespeare
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
William Shakespeare
They are hare-brain'd slaves.
William Shakespeare
What's past and what's to come is strew'd with husks And formless ruin of oblivion.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Who seeks, and will not take, when once 'tis offer'd, Shall never find it more.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get.

William Shakespeare
Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
William Shakespeare
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold
William Shakespeare
Minutes, hours, days, months, and years, Pass'd over to the end they were created, Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave. Ah, what a life were this!
William Shakespeare
This is a gift that I have, simple, simple a foolish extravagant spirit full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions, revolutions these are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion.
William Shakespeare
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.
William Shakespeare
God is our fortress, in whose conquering name Let us resolve to scale their flinty bulwarks.
William Shakespeare
Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.
William Shakespeare
I'll take thy word for faith, not ask thine oath Who shuns not to break one will sure crack both.
William Shakespeare
Great men should drink with harness on their throats.
William Shakespeare
Hal, if I tell thee a lie, spit in my face, call me horse.
William Shakespeare
