More quotes by William Shakespeare
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare
Let me have men about me that are fat... Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
William Shakespeare
A pal is one that is aware you while you are, understands where you have already been, accepts whatever you are becoming, and continue to, carefully means that you can develop.
William Shakespeare
There's husbandry in heaven Their candles are all out.
William Shakespeare
Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast.
William Shakespeare
A smile cures the wounding of a frown.
William Shakespeare
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.
William Shakespeare
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.
William Shakespeare
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out
William Shakespeare
Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.
William Shakespeare
Jesu, Jesu, the mad days that I have spent! And to see how many of my old acquaintance are dead!
William Shakespeare
By my soul I swear, there is no power in the tongue of man to alter me.
William Shakespeare
Death is a fearful thing.
William Shakespeare
The spirit of a youth That means to be of note, begins betimes.
William Shakespeare
Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest, Lend less than thou owest.
William Shakespeare
Tremble, thou wretch, That hast within thee undivulged crimes Unwhipped of justice.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority-a dog's obeyed in office.
William Shakespeare
