More quotes by William Shakespeare
Kindness nobler ever than revenge.
William Shakespeare
He says, he loves my daughter I think so too for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Having my freedom, boast of nothing else.
William Shakespeare
They are hare-brain'd slaves.
William Shakespeare
God mark thee to His grace! Thou was the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And might I live to see thee married once, I have my wish.
William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
You dull ass will not mend his pace with beating.
William Shakespeare
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds.
William Shakespeare
You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air, I banish you And here remain with your uncertainty!
William Shakespeare
Cease thy counsel, for thy words fall into my ears as priceless as water into a seive.
William Shakespeare
But when I came, alas, to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare
So many hours must I take my rest So many hours must I contemplate.
William Shakespeare
These words are razors to my wounded heart.
William Shakespeare
Let us our lives, our souls, Our debts, our careful wives, Our children, and our sins, lay on the King!
William Shakespeare
For to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
William Shakespeare
In brief, sir, study what you most affect.
William Shakespeare
Love runs away from those chasing her, and those who run away, she throws herself on his neck.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true, have often lived alone.
William Shakespeare
The readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
