More quotes by William Shakespeare
Silence is the perfectest herault of joy. I were but little happy if I could say how much.
William Shakespeare
The iron tongue of Midnight hath told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis almost fairy time. I fear we shall outstep the coming morn as much as we this night over-watch'd.
William Shakespeare
In springtime, the only pretty ring time Birds sing, hey ding A-ding, a-ding Sweet lovers love the spring—
William Shakespeare
I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.
William Shakespeare
I understand a fury in your words But not your words.
William Shakespeare
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
William Shakespeare
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet Grace must still look so.
William Shakespeare
I do love My country's good with a respect more tender, More holy and profound, then mine own life, My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase, And treasure of my loins.
William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come.
William Shakespeare
I am giddy, expectation whirls me round. The imaginary relish is so sweet That it enchants my sense.
William Shakespeare
I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
William Shakespeare
Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.
William Shakespeare
Remembrance of things past.
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
I do repent but heaven hath pleas'd it so To punish me with this, and this with me, That I must be their scourge and minister. I will bestow him, and will answer well The death I gave him. So again good night. I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth.
William Shakespeare
Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast.
William Shakespeare
I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air.
William Shakespeare
My crown is in my heart, not on my head not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
A time, methinks, too short To make a world-without-end bargain in.
William Shakespeare
