More quotes by William Shakespeare
A man can die but once.
William Shakespeare
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
Tis a blushing shame-faced spirit that mutinies in a man's bosom. It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that (by chance) I found. It beggars any man that keeps it.
William Shakespeare
T'is true: there's magic in the web of it.
William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
William Shakespeare
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
William Shakespeare
Supposition all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes For treason is but trusted like the fox, Who, ne'er so tame, so cherished and locked up, Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
William Shakespeare
I hold him but a fool that will endanger His body for a girl that loves him not.
William Shakespeare
So all my best is dressing old words new.
William Shakespeare
Most dear actors, eat no onions nor garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath.
William Shakespeare
What Time hath scanted men in hair, he hath given them in wit.
William Shakespeare
Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
William Shakespeare
That, sir, which serves and seeks for gain, And follows but for form, Will pack, when it begins to rain, And leave thee in a storm.
William Shakespeare
Alack, the night comes on, and the bleak winds Do sorely ruffle for many miles about There's scarce a bush.
William Shakespeare
Never, never, never, never, never! Pray you, undo this button.
William Shakespeare
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
William Shakespeare
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
William Shakespeare
Thus we play the fool with the time and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
William Shakespeare
Some glory in their birth , some in their skill , Some in their wealth , some in their bodies' force , Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill Some in their hawks and hounds , some in their horse And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure , Wherein it finds a joy above the rest .
William Shakespeare
