More quotes by William Shakespeare
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
William Shakespeare
For you and I are past our dancing days.
William Shakespeare
For so work the honey bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
William Shakespeare
While he was drunk asleep, or in his rage, or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed.
William Shakespeare
What early tongue so sweet saluteth me? Young son, it argues a distemper'd head So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.
William Shakespeare
Is this the generation of love? Hot blood, hot thoughts and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers. Is love a generation of vipers?
William Shakespeare
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
William Shakespeare
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
I cannot be a man with wishing, therefore I will die a woman with grieving.
William Shakespeare
Lay on, McDuff, and be damned he who first cries, 'Hold, enough!
William Shakespeare
Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? - Lady Macbeth
William Shakespeare
A little more than kin, and less than kind.
William Shakespeare
Ah, what a sign it is of evil life, Where death's approach is seen so terrible!
William Shakespeare
Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
William Shakespeare
How use doth breed a habit in a man.
William Shakespeare
Ornament is but the guiled shore to a most dangerous sea.
William Shakespeare
Confess yourself to heaven, Repent what's past, avoid what is to come, And do not spread the compost on the weeds To make them ranker.
William Shakespeare
Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways.
William Shakespeare
Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.
William Shakespeare
