More quotes by William Shakespeare
Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes fathers that children with their judgment looked and either may be wrong.
William Shakespeare
Music, moody food Of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare
Give me a bowl of wine. I have not that alacrity of spirit Nor cheer of mind that I was wont to have.
William Shakespeare
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him it sets him on and it takes him off.
William Shakespeare
It is the witness still of excellency to put a strange face on his own perfection.
William Shakespeare
What: is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?
William Shakespeare
Shorten my days thou canst with sullen sorrow, And pluck nights from me, but not lend a morrow Thou canst help time to furrow me with age, But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage.
William Shakespeare
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words. Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord? Hamlet: Between who? Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
William Shakespeare
Was ever woman in this humour wooed? Was ever woman in this humour won?
William Shakespeare
It is the very error of the moon She comes more nearer earth than she was wont, And makes men mad.
William Shakespeare
what cannot be saved when fate takes, patience her injury a mockery makes
William Shakespeare
A grandma's name is little less in love than is the doting title of a mother.
William Shakespeare
Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, you cannot play upon me.
William Shakespeare
I'll teach you differences.
William Shakespeare
Death-counterfeiting sleep.
William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
The icy precepts of respect.
William Shakespeare
I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl. The secret mischiefs that I set abroach I lay unto the grievous charge of others.
William Shakespeare
