More quotes by William Shakespeare
The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
William Shakespeare
To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience, and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation: To this point I stand,-- That both the worlds I give to negligence, Let come what comes only I'll be reveng'd.
William Shakespeare
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . .
William Shakespeare
He hath not eat paper, as it were he hath not drunk ink his intellect is not replenished he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts. (Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost, IV)
William Shakespeare
A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state Empties itself, as dot an inland brook Into the main of waters.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.
William Shakespeare
Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree Murder, stern murder in the dir'st degree, Throng to the bar, crying all, 'Guilty!, guilty!
William Shakespeare
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
William Shakespeare
If our virtues did not go forth of us, it were all alike as if we had them not.
William Shakespeare
When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.
William Shakespeare
Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember wrongs?
William Shakespeare
Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
William Shakespeare
O father Abram, what these Christians are, Whose own hard dealing teaches them suspect The thoughts of others!
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
Tis ever common That men are merriest when they are from home.
William Shakespeare
Words are grown so false, I am loath to prove reason with them.
William Shakespeare
And all my mother came into mine eyes And gave me up to tears.
William Shakespeare
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
