More quotes by William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.
William Shakespeare
The love of wicked men converts to fear That fear to hate, and hate turns one or both To worthy danger and deserved death.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules, but beware instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter. I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the Bay of Portugal.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The king's name is a tower of strength.
William Shakespeare
A woman is a dish for the gods, if the devil dress her not.
William Shakespeare
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
For my own part, I shall be glad to learn of noble men.
William Shakespeare
What is light, if Sylvia be not seen? What is joy if Sylvia be not by?
William Shakespeare
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.
William Shakespeare
Light and lust are deadly enemies.
William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
All that glitters is not gold.
William Shakespeare
The best is yet to come.
William Shakespeare
Fit for the mountains and the barbarous caves, where manners ne'er were preached.
William Shakespeare
A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross.
William Shakespeare
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
William Shakespeare
