More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
So fair and foul a day i had not seen.
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the North he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots as a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife, 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work.
William Shakespeare
I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
William Shakespeare
O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer!
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
Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? When at your hands did I deserve this scorn? Is't not enough, is't not enough, young man, That I did never, no, nor never can, Deserve a sweet look from Demetrius' eye, But you must flout my insufficiency?
William Shakespeare
We few. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today That sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother.
William Shakespeare
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
William Shakespeare
Mean and mighty, rotting Together, have one dust.
William Shakespeare
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled. Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
William Shakespeare
See, what a ready tongue suspicion hath! He that but fears the thing he would not know, Hath, by instinct, knowledge from others' eyes, That what he feared is chanced.
William Shakespeare
Tis often seen Adoption strives with nature and choice breeds A native slip to us from foreign lands.
William Shakespeare
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
William Shakespeare
I find my zenith doth depend upon A most auspicious star, whose influence If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes Will ever after droop.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority-a dog's obeyed in office.
William Shakespeare
I am one, my liege, Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world Have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world.
William Shakespeare
He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
William Shakespeare
For man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
William Shakespeare
