More quotes by William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
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
Farewell, fair cruelty.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
It's easy for someone to joke about scars if they've never been cut.
William Shakespeare
A little water clears us of this deed.
William Shakespeare
Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind, As man's ingratitude.
William Shakespeare
With this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature. for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature.
William Shakespeare
Oh! that you could turn your eyes towards the napes of your necks, and make but an interior survey of your good selves.
William Shakespeare
Were kisses all the joys in bed, One woman would another wed.
William Shakespeare
My language! heavens!I am the best of them that speak this speech. Were I but where 'tis spoken.
William Shakespeare
Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colours wave! And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed She is a woman, therefore to be won.
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
William Shakespeare
My stars shine darkly over me
William Shakespeare
