More quotes by William Shakespeare
What power is it which mounts my love so high, that makes me see, and cannot feed mine eye
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart.
William Shakespeare
Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare
Fall Greeks fail fame honour or go or stay My major vow lies here, this I'll obey.
William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
William Shakespeare
Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown, Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.
William Shakespeare
They that stand high have many blasts to shake them.
William Shakespeare
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
There are occasions and causes, why and wherefore in all things.
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
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
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.
William Shakespeare
Fie, fie, how frantically I square my talk!
William Shakespeare
An old black ram is tupping your white ewe
William Shakespeare
Hang him, swaggering rascal!
William Shakespeare
Have more than you show, Speak less than you know.
William Shakespeare
Sweet flowers are slow and weeds make haste.
William Shakespeare
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
William Shakespeare
But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare
