More quotes by William Shakespeare
Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun.
William Shakespeare
Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare
The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, is often left unloved.
William Shakespeare
Two may keep counsel putting one away!
William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
The tongues of dying men enforce attention like deep harmony.
William Shakespeare
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short youth is nimble, age is lame Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and age is tame.
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.
William Shakespeare
Charity itself fulfills the law. And who can sever love from charity?
William Shakespeare
I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.
William Shakespeare
Many a man's tongue shakes out his master's undoing.
William Shakespeare
Death is a fearful thing.
William Shakespeare
Self-love is the most inhibited sin in the canon.
William Shakespeare
Men judge by the complexion of the sky The state and inclination of the day.
William Shakespeare
If I shall be condemned Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else But what your jealousies awake, I tell you 'Tis rigor and not law.
William Shakespeare
Be as thou wast wont to be. See as thou wast wont to see.
William Shakespeare
That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman.
William Shakespeare
