More quotes by William Shakespeare
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
For I can raise no money by vile means.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions.
William Shakespeare
How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping?
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Holy, fair, and wise is she The heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be.
William Shakespeare
Are you up to your destiny?
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
How low am I, thou painted maypole?
William Shakespeare
