More quotes by William Shakespeare
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
William Shakespeare
Therefore it is most expedient for the wise, if Don Worm (his conscience) find no impediment to the contrary, to be the trumpet of his own virtues, as I am to myself.
William Shakespeare
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
William Shakespeare
Dissembling courtesy! How fine this tyrant can trickle when she wounds!
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
William Shakespeare
Patch up thine old body for heaven.
William Shakespeare
The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet.
William Shakespeare
Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee.
William Shakespeare
Men's faults do seldom to themselves appear.
William Shakespeare
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
William Shakespeare
O, how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors.
William Shakespeare
Policy sits above conscience.
William Shakespeare
Delivers in such apt and gracious words that aged ears play truant at his tales And younger hearings are quite ravished So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
William Shakespeare
I do love My country's good with a respect more tender, More holy and profound, then mine own life, My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase, And treasure of my loins.
William Shakespeare
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Pale in her anger washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound And through this distemperature we see The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
Swift as shadow, short as any dream
William Shakespeare
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
William Shakespeare
Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast.
William Shakespeare
