More quotes by William Shakespeare
Say she rail why, I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale. Say that she frown I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew. Say she be mute and will not speak a word Then I'll commend her volubility, and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I am not in the giving vein today.
William Shakespeare
This is his uncle's teaching, this Worcester, Malevolent to you In all aspects, Which makes him prune himself and bristle up The crest of youth against your dignity.
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
William Shakespeare
Have you not love enough to bear with me, when that rash humor which my mother gave me makes me forgetful.
William Shakespeare
My charity is outrage, life my shame And in that shame still live my sorrow's rage!
William Shakespeare
