More quotes by William Shakespeare
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
The private wound is deepest. O time most accurst, 'Mongst all foes that a friend should be the worst!
William Shakespeare
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare
Set your heart at rest. The fairyland buys not the child of me.
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Poise the cause in justice's equal scales, Whose beam stands sure, whose rightful cause prevails.
William Shakespeare
I am not in the giving vein today.
William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson zed! Thou unnecessary letter! My lord, if you will give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into mortar, and daub the wall of a jakes with him. *all cheer for Shakespearean insults*
William Shakespeare
But love that comes too late, Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried, To the great sender turns a sour offense, Crying, 'That's good that's gone.
William Shakespeare
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up.
William Shakespeare
Opinion crowns with an imperial voice.
William Shakespeare
Think'st thou I'd make a life of jealousy, To follow still the changes of the moon With fresh suspicions? No to be once in doubt Is once to be resolved.
William Shakespeare
If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?
William Shakespeare
I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated To closeness and the bettering of my mind.
William Shakespeare
And a man's life's no more than to say One.
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
For what I will, I will, and there an end.
William Shakespeare
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
William Shakespeare
