More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair, Playing in the wanton air: Through the velvet leaves the wind, All unseen can passage find That the lover, sick to death, Wish'd himself the heaven's breath.
William Shakespeare
Image
A book? O, rare one, Be not, as is our fangled world, a garment Nobler than that it covers.
William Shakespeare
Image
I have drunk and seen the spider.
William Shakespeare
Image
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare
Image
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare

The private wound is deepest. O time most accurst, 'Mongst all foes that a friend should be the worst!
William Shakespeare
Image
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?

Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
Image
My love is as a fever, longing still.
William Shakespeare
Image
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is merely a madness and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do and the reason why they are not so punish'd and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
William Shakespeare
Image
We must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
Image
What freezings I have felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere!
William Shakespeare
Image
When Caesar says, 'Do this', it is performed.
William Shakespeare
Image
Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.
