More quotes by William Shakespeare
Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty.
William Shakespeare
O, my lord, You said that idle weeds are fast in growth: The prince my brother hath outgrown me far.
William Shakespeare
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare
The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
Greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William Shakespeare
Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, more longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, than women's are.
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased, The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
William Shakespeare
Love is blind, it stops lovers seeing the silly things they do.
William Shakespeare
I desire you in friendship, and I will one way or other make you amends.
William Shakespeare
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
What must be shall be.
William Shakespeare
The nature of bad news affects the teller.
William Shakespeare
Make me a willow cabin at your gate, And call upon my soul within the house Write loyal cantons of contemned love And sing them loud even in the dead of night.
William Shakespeare
It is thyself, mine own self's better part Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
William Shakespeare
Golden lads and girls all must as chimney sweepers come to dust.
William Shakespeare
Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.
William Shakespeare
No doubt they rose up early to observe the rite of May and, hearing our intent, Came here in grace of our solemnity.
William Shakespeare
I'll follow thee and make a heaven of hell, To die upon the hand I love so well
William Shakespeare
