More quotes by William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Come, woo me, woo me, for now I am in a holiday humor, and like enough to consent.
William Shakespeare
Good counselors lack no clients.
William Shakespeare
A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Thou shalt be free As mountain winds: but then exactly do All points of my command.
William Shakespeare
I...Kisss the tender inward of thy hand.
William Shakespeare
He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost.
William Shakespeare
Hot and hasty, like a Scotch jig.
William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait, His day's hot task hath ended in the west: The owl, night's herald, shrieks-'tis very late The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light, Do summon us to part, and bid good night.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
William Shakespeare
Nothing 'gainst Times scythe can make defence.
William Shakespeare
Base is the slave that pays.
William Shakespeare
Beauty lives with kindness.
William Shakespeare
Well, honor is the subject of my story.
William Shakespeare
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.
William Shakespeare
Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art, As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
William Shakespeare
I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.
William Shakespeare
The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.
William Shakespeare
