More quotes by William Shakespeare
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use, Revolts from true birth stumbling on abuse.
William Shakespeare
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
William Shakespeare
No metal can--no, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness of thy sharp envy.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love, Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together Affliction alters.
William Shakespeare
Liberty plucks justice by the nose The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart Goes all decorum.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.
William Shakespeare
Love is merely a madness.
William Shakespeare
We must every one be a man of his own fancy.
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
William Shakespeare
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
William Shakespeare
O powerful love, that in some respects makes a beast a man, in some other, a man a beast.
William Shakespeare
What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs?
William Shakespeare
Rest you fair, good signior Your worship was the last man in our mouths.
William Shakespeare
Time is a very bankrupt and owes more than he's worth to season. Nay, he's a thief too: have you not heard men say, That Time comes stealing on by night and day?
William Shakespeare
If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.
William Shakespeare
All furnished, all in arms All plum'd like estridges that with the wind Bated like eagles having lately bathed Glittering in golden coats like images As full of spirit as the month of May And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
William Shakespeare
They say, the tongues of dying men Enforce attention, like deep harmony Where words are scarce, they're seldom spent in vain For they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain.
William Shakespeare
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
