More quotes by William Shakespeare
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
But most it is presumption in us when the help of heaven we count the act of men.
William Shakespeare
Like a dull actor now, I have forgot my part, and I am out, Even to a full disgrace.
William Shakespeare
They do not abuse the king that flatter him. For flattery is the bellows blows up sin The thing the which is flattered, but a spark To which that blast gives heat and stronger glowing.
William Shakespeare
When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me wouldst give me Water with berries in't and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night and then I loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.
William Shakespeare
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
O, call back yesterday, bid time return
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
We cannot all be masters.
William Shakespeare
He kills her in her own humor.
William Shakespeare
Though authority be a stubborn bear, yet he is oft let by the nose with gold.
William Shakespeare
No sooner met but they looked no sooner looked but they loved no sooner loved but they sighed no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times before their deaths the valiant never taste of death but once.
William Shakespeare
When a gentlemen is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths.
William Shakespeare
And to the English court assemble now, From every region, apes of idleness!
William Shakespeare
So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
It is not vain glory for a man and his glass to confer in his own chamber.
William Shakespeare
I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me, I must scratch.
William Shakespeare
