More quotes by William Shakespeare
I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause But rather reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good, but given unsought better.
William Shakespeare
Shine out fair sun, till I have bought a glass, That I may see my shadow as I pass.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.
William Shakespeare
Great floods have flown From simple sources.
William Shakespeare
Demand me nothing: what you know, you know.
William Shakespeare
Those that are good manners at the court are as ridiculous in the country, as the behavior of the country is most mockable at the court.
William Shakespeare
The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, In forms imaginary, th' unguided days And rotten times that you shall look upon When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
William Shakespeare
For in the fatness of these pursy times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues.
William Shakespeare
No, no, I am but shadow of myself: You are deceived, my substance is not here.
William Shakespeare
And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, Even so by love the young and tender wit Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Losing his verdure even in the prime, And all the fair effects of future hopes.
William Shakespeare
Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: ‘tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself
William Shakespeare
Tis the mind that makes the body rich.
William Shakespeare
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
When truth kills truth, O devilish holy fray!
William Shakespeare
Robust grass endures mighty winds loyal ministers emerge through ordeal.
William Shakespeare
Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
William Shakespeare
Man and wife, being two, are one in love.
William Shakespeare
