More quotes by William Shakespeare
He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
For she had eyes and chose me.
William Shakespeare
Oft have I heard that grief softens the mind And makes it fearful and degenerate.
William Shakespeare
Dreams are the children of idled minds.
William Shakespeare
This fellow pecks up wit, as pigeons peas And utters it again when God doth please: He is wit's pedler and retails his wares.
William Shakespeare
How quickly nature falls into revolt When gold becomes her object! For this the foolish over-careful fathers Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care, Their bones with industry.
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more, men were deceivers ever
William Shakespeare
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: So, ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
William Shakespeare
When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.
William Shakespeare
Tis our fast intent To shake all cares and business from our age, Conferring them on younger strengths, while we Unburdened crawl toward death.
William Shakespeare
Lawn as white as driven snow Cyprus black as e'er was crow Gloves as sweet as damask roses.
William Shakespeare
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
William Shakespeare
If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other, And I will look on both indifferently For let the gods so speed me as I love The name of honor more than I fear death.
William Shakespeare
Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor for 'tis the mind that makes the body rich
William Shakespeare
