More quotes by William Shakespeare
I'll have no husband, if you be not he.
William Shakespeare
One sin another doth provoke.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
Preposterous ass, that never read so far to know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare
He kills her in her own humor.
William Shakespeare
No man's pie is freed From his ambitious finger.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
William Shakespeare
As good luck would have it, comes in one Mistress Page, gives intelligence of Ford's approach, and in her invention, and Ford's wife's distraction, they conveyed me into a buck-basket.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman.
William Shakespeare
Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest.
William Shakespeare
Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
What, keep a week away? Seven days and nights, Eightscore-eight hours, and lovers' absent hours More tedious than the dial eightscore times! O weary reckoning!
William Shakespeare
Brevity is the soul of wit.
William Shakespeare
Waste not thy time in windy argument but let the matter drop.
William Shakespeare
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, Th' endeavor of this present breath may buy That honor which shall bate his scythe's keen edge And make us heirs of all eternity.
William Shakespeare
All fancy-sick she is and pale of cheer, with sighs of love, that costs the fresh blood dear.
William Shakespeare
The course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king.
William Shakespeare
England, bound in with the triumphant sea, Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege Of watery Neptune.
William Shakespeare
