More quotes by William Shakespeare
Things are often spoke and seldom meant.
William Shakespeare
If ever thou shalt love, In the sweet pangs of it remember me For such as I am all true lovers are, Unstaid and skittish in all motions else Save in the constant image of the creature That is beloved.
William Shakespeare
Why, headstrong liberty is lashed with woe. There's nothing situate under heaven's eye But hath his bound, in earth, in sea, in sky.
William Shakespeare
The evil that men do lives after them the good is oft interred with their bones.
William Shakespeare
I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream.
William Shakespeare
Did he so often lodge in open field, In winter's cold and summer's parching heat, To conquer France, his true inheritance?
William Shakespeare
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
William Shakespeare
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A tardiness in nature, Which often leaves the history unspoke, That it intends to do.
William Shakespeare
Know my name is lost, By treason's tooth bare-gnawn and canker-bit Yet am I noble as the adversary I come to cope.
William Shakespeare
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
To be generous, guiltless, and of a free disposition is to take those things for bird-bolts that you deem cannon-bullets.
William Shakespeare
Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.
William Shakespeare
When law can do no right, Let it be lawful that law bar no wrong.
William Shakespeare
O, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they do.
William Shakespeare
I love thee, I love thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
William Shakespeare
Fairies, black, grey, green, and white, You moonshine revellers, and shades of night, You orphan heirs of fixed destiny, Attend your office and your quality.
William Shakespeare
