More quotes by William Shakespeare
What have we here? a man or a fish? dead or alive? A fish: he smells like a fish a very ancient and fishlike smell a kind of not of the newest poor-John. A strange fish!
William Shakespeare
I will go wash And when my face is fair, you shall perceive Whether I blush or no.
William Shakespeare
My charity is outrage, life my shame And in that shame still live my sorrow's rage!
William Shakespeare
A dream itself is but a shadow.
William Shakespeare
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
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant, Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
Myself will straight aboard, and to the state This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
William Shakespeare
Let fancy still in my sense in Lethe steep If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!
William Shakespeare
For by his face straight shall you know his heart.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
Robust grass endures mighty winds loyal ministers emerge through ordeal.
William Shakespeare
Come give us a taste of your quality.
William Shakespeare
And be these juggling friends no more believ'd, That palter with us in a double sense That keep the word of promise to our ear And break it to our hope.
William Shakespeare
When law can do no right, Let it be lawful that law bar no wrong.
William Shakespeare
I love a ballad but even too well if it be doleful matter merrily set down, or a very pleasant thing indeed and sung lamentably.
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
All the world is a stage and we are merely players.
William Shakespeare
To loathe the taste of sweetness, whereof little more than a little is by much too much.
William Shakespeare
This thing of darkness I Acknowledge mine.
William Shakespeare
