More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
All of Creation’s a farce. Man was born as a joke. In his head his reason is buffeted Like wind-blown smoke. Life is a game. Everyone ridicules everyone else. But he who has the last laugh Laughs longest.
William Shakespeare
And Caesar shall go forth.

William Shakespeare
The thorny point Of bare distress hath ta'en from me the show Of smooth civility yet am I inland bred And know some nurture.
William Shakespeare
Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee!
William Shakespeare
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
William Shakespeare
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

The weakest kind of fruit drops earliest to the ground.
William Shakespeare
