More quotes by William Shakespeare
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience, and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation: To this point I stand,-- That both the worlds I give to negligence, Let come what comes only I'll be reveng'd.
William Shakespeare
Devils soonest tempt, resembling spirits of light.
William Shakespeare
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
William Shakespeare
Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.
William Shakespeare
Awake, dear heart, awake. Thou hast slept well. Awake.
William Shakespeare
Great griefs medicine the less.
William Shakespeare
The fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being governed, as the sea is, by the moon.
William Shakespeare
The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy To inlay heaven with stars.
William Shakespeare
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words. Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord? Hamlet: Between who? Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
William Shakespeare
You have her father's love, Demetrius Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him!
William Shakespeare
Have more than you show, Speak less than you know.
William Shakespeare
I cannot, nor I will not hold me still My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will.
William Shakespeare
Great men may jest with saints 'tis wit in them But, in the less foul profanation.
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
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare
Mechanic slaves With greasy aprons, rules, and hammers, shall Uplift us to the view.
William Shakespeare
Officers, what offence have these men done? DOGBERRY Marry, sir, they have committed false report moreover, they have spoken untruths secondarily, they are slanders sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady thirdly, they have verified unjust things and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
