More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
Rude am I in my speech, And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.
William Shakespeare
The band that seems to tie their friendship together will be the very strangler of their amity.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
William Shakespeare
I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment.
William Shakespeare
That we would do We should do when we would, for this 'would' changes, And hath abatements and delays as many As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents, And then this 'should' is like a spendthrift sigh, That hurts by easing.
William Shakespeare
Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
William Shakespeare
They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.
William Shakespeare
My language! heavens!I am the best of them that speak this speech. Were I but where 'tis spoken.
William Shakespeare
Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.
William Shakespeare
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
William Shakespeare
Greatness, once fallen out with fortune, must fall out with men too.
William Shakespeare
You are my true and honourable wife As dear to me as the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date . . .
William Shakespeare
He was met even now As mad as the vex'd sea singing aloud Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers, Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow In our sustaining corn.
William Shakespeare
Nay, had I pow'r, I should Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, Uproar the universal peace, confound All unity on earth.
William Shakespeare
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet
William Shakespeare
Crack'd in pieces by malignant Death.
William Shakespeare
If we are true to ourselves, we can not be false to anyone.
William Shakespeare
