More quotes by William Shakespeare
The sense of death is most in apprehension, And the poor beetle, that we tread upon, In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies.
William Shakespeare
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear His hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear: And you all know, security Is mortals' chiefest enemy.
William Shakespeare
Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and smooth But that our soft conditions and our hearts Should well agree with our external parts?
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand.
William Shakespeare
How poor are they that have have not patients.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
William Shakespeare
He is white-livered and red-faced.
William Shakespeare
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
William Shakespeare
Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.
William Shakespeare
This is the short and the long of it.
William Shakespeare
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
William Shakespeare
Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
William Shakespeare
Are you up to your destiny?
William Shakespeare
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!
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
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.
William Shakespeare
Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears.
William Shakespeare
