Image
The sweets we wish for, turn to loathed sours, Even in the moment that we call them ours.
William Shakespeare
Image
O that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth! Then with passion would I shake the world, And rouse from sleep that fell anatomy Which cannot hear a lady's feeble voice, Which scorns a modern invocation.
William Shakespeare
Image
The leopard does not change his spots.
William Shakespeare
Image
I can see his pride Peep through each part of him.
William Shakespeare
Image
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven
William Shakespeare
Image
There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.
William Shakespeare
Image
Grief makes one hour ten.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
Image
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.
William Shakespeare
Image
If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends, You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse, That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war: since that to both It stands in like request?
William Shakespeare
Image
This is the third time I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.
William Shakespeare
Image
A wicked conscience mouldeth goblins swift as frenzy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Image
My wits begin to turn.
William Shakespeare
Image
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
William Shakespeare
Image
Good words are better than bad strokes.
William Shakespeare
Image
But 'tis common proof, that lowliness is young ambition's ladder, whereto the climber-upward turns his face but when he once attains the upmost round, he then turns his back, looks in the clouds, scorning the vase defrees by which he did ascend.
William Shakespeare
Image
A little more than kin, and less than kind.
William Shakespeare
Image
Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health, The fit is strongest. Evils that take leave, On their departure most of all show evil.
