More quotes by William Shakespeare
In jest, there is truth.
William Shakespeare
Four days will quickly steep themselves in nights Four nights will quickly dream away the time And then the moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven, shall behold the night of our solemnities.
William Shakespeare
Sick in the world's regard, wretched and low.
William Shakespeare
O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! - Cassio (Act II, Scene iii)
William Shakespeare
As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.
William Shakespeare
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
Highly fed and lowly taught.
William Shakespeare
I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.
William Shakespeare
Tis in ourselves that we are thus, or thus.
William Shakespeare
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
Her virtues, graced with external gifts, Do breed love's settled passions in my heart And like as rigour of tempestuous gusts Provokes the mightiest hulk against the tide, So am I driven by breath of her renown Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive Where I may have fruition of her love.
William Shakespeare
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
William Shakespeare
Thus weary of the world, away she hies, And yokes her silver doves by whose swift aid Their mistress mounted through the empty skies In her light chariot quickly is convey'd Holding their course to Paphos, where their queen Means to immure herself and not be seen.
William Shakespeare
Good fortune then! To make me blest or cursed'st among men.
William Shakespeare
Be cheerful wipe thine eyes: Some falls are means the happier to arise
William Shakespeare
Thou sodden-witted lord! thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows.
William Shakespeare
This is his uncle's teaching, this Worcester, Malevolent to you In all aspects, Which makes him prune himself and bristle up The crest of youth against your dignity.
William Shakespeare
I am ill at these numbers.
William Shakespeare
Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
William Shakespeare
