More quotes by William Shakespeare
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
William Shakespeare
And do as adversaries do in law, strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
William Shakespeare
O no, thy love though much, is not so great, It is my love that keeps mine eye awake, Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, To play the watchman ever for thy sake. For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, From me far off, with others all too near.
William Shakespeare
The attempt and not the deed confounds us.
William Shakespeare
I wish you well and so I take my leave, I Pray you know me when we meet again.
William Shakespeare
By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me.

William Shakespeare
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.
William Shakespeare
For which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?
William Shakespeare
And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire, The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmasks her beauty to the moon.
William Shakespeare
He doth nothing but talk of his horses.
William Shakespeare
I do love My country's good with a respect more tender, More holy and profound, then mine own life, My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase, And treasure of my loins.
William Shakespeare
I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.
William Shakespeare
