She told her, while she kept it, 'Twould make her amiable and subdue my father Entirely to her love, but if she lost it Or made a gift of it, my father's eye Should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt After new fancies.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
The setting sun, and the music at the close, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in rememberance more than long things past.
William Shakespeare
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
But here's the joy: my friend and I are one, Sweet flattery!
William Shakespeare
The course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid!
William Shakespeare
Had it pleas'd heaven To try me with affliction * * * I should have found in some place of my soul A drop of patience.
William Shakespeare
O gentlemen, the time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long, If life did ride upon a dial's point, Still ending at the arrival of an hour.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare
Hamlet: Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring? Ophelia: 'Tis brief, my lord. Hamlet: As woman's love.
William Shakespeare
Full many a glorious morn I have seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.
William Shakespeare
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
William Shakespeare
It is not night when I do see your face.
William Shakespeare
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats If it be man's work, I'll do't.
William Shakespeare
I knew when seven justices could not take up a quarrel, but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an If, as, 'If you said so, then I said so' and they shook hands and swore brothers. Your If is the only peacemaker much virtue in If.
William Shakespeare
And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, millions of mischiefs.
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
Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers they hold up Adam's profession.
William Shakespeare
Truth is truth to the end of reckoning.
