More quotes by William Shakespeare
Sweet love! Sweet lines! Sweet life! Here is her hand, the agent of her heart Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn
William Shakespeare
To lapse in fulness Is sorer than to lie for need, and falsehood Is worse in kings than beggars.
William Shakespeare
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long
William Shakespeare
O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.

Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.
William Shakespeare
The sense of death is most in apprehension.
William Shakespeare
My endeavors Have ever come too short of my desires. Yet filed with my abilities.
William Shakespeare
Is twenty hundred kisses such a trouble?
William Shakespeare
You are a tedious fool.
William Shakespeare
Old fashions please me best I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions.
William Shakespeare
Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered!
William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
William Shakespeare
