That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare

More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have seen better faces in my time Than stands on any shoulder that I see Before me at this instant.
William Shakespeare
Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this for it will come to pass That every braggart will be found an ass.
William Shakespeare
And send him many years of sunshine days!
William Shakespeare
By my soul I swear, there is no power in the tongue of man to alter me.
William Shakespeare
Love is too young to know what conscience is.
William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Out of her favour, where I am in love.
William Shakespeare
Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun it shines everywhere.
William Shakespeare
The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
My dull brain was wrought with things forgotten.
William Shakespeare
A very ancient and fish-like smell.
William Shakespeare
'Tis pride that pulls the country down.
William Shakespeare
Where the bee sucks, there suck I In the cow-slip's bell i lie There I couch when owls do cry
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
William Shakespeare
That is the way to lay the city flat, To bring the roof to the foundation, And bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, In heaps and piles of ruin.
William Shakespeare
Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought.
William Shakespeare
I will despair, and be at enmity With cozening hope.
William Shakespeare
If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion.
William Shakespeare
