More quotes by William Shakespeare
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind
William Shakespeare
No stony bulwark can resist the love, and love dares what anyone can love.
William Shakespeare
I crave fit disposition for my wife Due reference of place, and exhibition With such accommodation, and besort, As levels with her breeding.
William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased, The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
William Shakespeare
Two women placed together makes cold weather.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men And being men, hearing the will of Caesar, It will inflame you, it will make you mad.
William Shakespeare
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
Ingrateful man with liquorish draughts, and morsels unctuous, greases his pure mind that from it all consideration slips.
William Shakespeare
It is great To do that thing that ends all other deeds, Which shackles accidents and bolts up change.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
William Shakespeare
All the contagion of the south light on you, You shames of Rome! you herd of--boils and plagues Plaster you o'er that you may be abhorr'd Further than seen, and one infect another Against the wind a mile!
William Shakespeare
These times of woe afford no time to woo.
William Shakespeare
This passion, and the death of a dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad.
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
Then happy I that love and am beloved, where I may not remove nor be removed.
William Shakespeare
Thus have I, Wall, my part discharged so And, being done, thus Wall away doth go.
William Shakespeare
Cold indeed, and labor lost: Then farewell heat, and welcome frost!
William Shakespeare
But love that comes too late, Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried, To the great sender turns a sour offense, Crying, 'That's good that's gone.
William Shakespeare
