More quotes by William Shakespeare
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
William Shakespeare
But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts whereof I take this that you call love to bea sect or scion.... It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I have touch'd the highest point of all my greatness, And from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.
William Shakespeare
Old fashions please me best I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
To show our simple skill, That is the true beginning of our end.
William Shakespeare
whats here a cup closed in my true loves hand poisin i see hath been his timeless end. oh churl drunk all and left no friendly drop to help me after. i will kiss thy lips some poisin doth hang on them, to help me die with a restorative. thy lips are warm. yea noise then ill be brief oh happy dagger this is thy sheath. there rust and let me die.
William Shakespeare
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
O heaven! were man, But constant, he were perfect.
William Shakespeare
You peasant swain! You whoreson malt-horse drudge!
William Shakespeare
Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud And after summer evermore succeeds Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold: So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.
William Shakespeare
Here was a Caesar! When comes such another?
William Shakespeare
Let not the world see fear and sad distrust govern the motion of a kingly eye.
William Shakespeare
Behold the threaden sails, Borne with the invisible and creeping wind, Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea, Breasting the lofty surge
William Shakespeare
