More quotes by William Shakespeare
Lord, Lord, how this world is given to lying!
William Shakespeare
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
This wimpled, whining, purblind, wayward boy, this Senior Junior, giant dwarf...Cupid.
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
William Shakespeare
Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
William Shakespeare
But there is no such man for, brother, men Can counsel and speak comfort to that grief Which they themselves not feel but, tasting it, Their counsel turns to passion, which before Would give preceptial medicine to rage, Fetter strong madness in a silken thread, Charm ache with air and agony with words.
William Shakespeare
To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures.
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Wishers were ever fools.
William Shakespeare
Till all grace be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
William Shakespeare
I will go wash And when my face is fair, you shall perceive Whether I blush or no.
William Shakespeare
Use almost can change the stamp of nature.
William Shakespeare
Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.
William Shakespeare
You speak an infinite deal of nothing.
William Shakespeare
O, had I but followed the arts!
William Shakespeare
The why is plain as way to parish church: He that a fool doth very wisely hit Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob if not, The wise man's folly is anatomiz'd Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
Would I were in an alehouse in London.
William Shakespeare
When rich villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will
William Shakespeare
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.
William Shakespeare
