More quotes by William Shakespeare
Against self-slaughter There is a prohibition so divine That cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror.
William Shakespeare
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
William Shakespeare
Will you walk out of the air, my lord? HAMLET Into my grave.
William Shakespeare
There's villainous news abroad.
William Shakespeare
No matter where of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth
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
Blessed are the peacemakers on earth.
William Shakespeare
The instruments of darkness tell us truths.
William Shakespeare
The labor we delight in physics [cures] pain.
William Shakespeare
But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.
William Shakespeare
Never anything can be amiss, when simpleness and duty tender it.
William Shakespeare
Myself will straight aboard, and to the state This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
William Shakespeare
I pray thee cease thy counsel, Which falls into mine ears as profitless as water in a sieve.
William Shakespeare
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast her, France let her be thine, for we Have no such daughter, nor shall ever see That face of hers again. Therefore be gone Without our grace, our love, our benison.
William Shakespeare
O, the difference of man and man! To thee a woman's services are due.
William Shakespeare
He says, he loves my daughter I think so too for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
William Shakespeare
