More quotes by William Shakespeare
The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.
William Shakespeare
... by indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare
Good reasons must of force give place to better.
William Shakespeare
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?
William Shakespeare
A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?
William Shakespeare
Headstrong liberty is lashed with woe.
William Shakespeare
Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust? And, live we how we can, yet die we must.
William Shakespeare
Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by
William Shakespeare
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer, The childing autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world, By their increase, now knows not which is which.
William Shakespeare
Poise the cause in justice's equal scales, Whose beam stands sure, whose rightful cause prevails.
William Shakespeare
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.
William Shakespeare
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
William Shakespeare
A little fire is quickly trodden out, Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench.
William Shakespeare
Why, this hath not a finger's dignity.
William Shakespeare
Good company, good wine, good welcome, can make good people.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a very ragged Wart.
William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
