More quotes by William Shakespeare
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
All impediments in fancy's course Are motives of more fancy.
William Shakespeare
Every man has a bag hanging before him, in which he puts his neighbour's faults, and another behind him in which he stows his own.
William Shakespeare
A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
William Shakespeare
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men's blood: I only speak right on I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
What's the news? None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest, Then is doomsday near.
William Shakespeare
The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
William Shakespeare
I do desire we may be better strangers.
William Shakespeare
O hell! to choose love with another's eye.
William Shakespeare
A book? O, rare one, Be not, as is our fangled world, a garment Nobler than that it covers.
William Shakespeare
Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, But they shall find awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind, Ability in means, and choice of friends, To quit me of them throughly.
William Shakespeare
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
A woman moved is like a fountain troubled, Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty.
William Shakespeare
Most subject is the fattest soil to weeds.
William Shakespeare
In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.
William Shakespeare
Who are the violets now That strew the lap of the new-come spring?
William Shakespeare
Dreams are the children of idled minds.
William Shakespeare
