More quotes by William Shakespeare
Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be.
William Shakespeare
thou art the best o' the cut-throats
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
So sweet was ne'er so fatal. I must weep. But they are creul tears. This sorrow's heavenly it strikes where it doth love.
William Shakespeare
Make the upcoming hour overflow with joy, and let pleasure drown the brim.
William Shakespeare
It was a lover and his lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o'er the green corn-field did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding Sweet lovers love the spring.
William Shakespeare
When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
Preferred three hours quicker over one moment late.
