There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
And she's fair I love.
William Shakespeare
A woman's fitness comes by fits.
William Shakespeare
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.
William Shakespeare
But clay and clay differs in dignity, Whose dust is both alike.
William Shakespeare
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind So flew'd, so sanded their heads are hung with ears that sweep away the morning dew.
William Shakespeare
But thou art fair, and at thy birth, dear boy, Nature and Fortune join'd to make thee great: Of Nature's gifts thou mayst with lilies boast, And with the half-blown rose but Fortune, O!
William Shakespeare
He that dies this year is quit for the next.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .
William Shakespeare
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
William Shakespeare
I can no longer live by thinking.
William Shakespeare
Better be with the dead, Whom we to gain our peace, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In restless ecstasy.
William Shakespeare
Benvolio- By my head, here come the Capulets. Mercutio- By my heel, I care not.
William Shakespeare
Time ... thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.
William Shakespeare
From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain and nourish all the world.
William Shakespeare
Where is Polonius? HAMLET In heaven. Send hither to see. If your messenger find him not there, seek him i' th' other place yourself. But if indeed you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby.
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
William Shakespeare
What should a man do but be merry? For look you how cheerfully my mother looks, and my father died within's two hours.
