More quotes by William Shakespeare
I am not prone to weeping as our sex commonly are the want of which vain dew perchance shall dry your pities but I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown.
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
So loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven, Visit her face' too roughly.
William Shakespeare
Why, I can smile and murder whiles I smile, And cry 'content' to that which grieves my heart, And wet my cheeks with artificial tears, And frame my face for all occasions
William Shakespeare
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing of her gallèd eyes, She married. O, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.
William Shakespeare
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
William Shakespeare
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night.
William Shakespeare
Cupid is a knavish lad, Thus to make poor females mad.
William Shakespeare
O all you host of heaven! O earth! What else? And shall I couple Hell?
William Shakespeare
My business was great, and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
William Shakespeare
Men's vows are women's traitors
William Shakespeare
My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy.
William Shakespeare
Time and the hour run through the roughest day.
William Shakespeare
All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus There is no virtue like necessity.
William Shakespeare
Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
William Shakespeare
Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep.
William Shakespeare
Nay, we must think men are not gods, Nor of them look for such observancy As fits the bridal.
William Shakespeare
Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.
William Shakespeare
