More quotes by William Shakespeare
What the vengeance, could he not speak 'em fair?
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
A good heart 'is worth gold.
William Shakespeare
That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave, Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William Shakespeare
To show an unfelt sorrow is an office Which the false man does easy.

William Shakespeare
When once our grace we have forgot, Nothing goes right.

Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.

Never anger made good guard for itself.
