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 can see he's not in your good books,' said the messenger. 'No, and if he were I would burn my library.
William Shakespeare
Simply the thing that I am shall make me live.
William Shakespeare
Knavery's plain face is never seen till used.
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
No sooner met but they looked no sooner looked but they loved no sooner loved but they sighed no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.
William Shakespeare
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
William Shakespeare
Oh! it offends me to the soul to hear a robust periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.
William Shakespeare
Words to deeds cold breath gives.
William Shakespeare
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare
The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, is often left unloved.
William Shakespeare
Like one who draws the model of a house beyond his power to build it who, half through, gives o'er, and leaves his part-created cost a naked subject to the weeping clouds.
William Shakespeare
Base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes Heaven drowsy with the harmony.
William Shakespeare
He wears the rose Of youth upon him.
William Shakespeare
That, sir, which serves and seeks for gain, And follows but for form, Will pack, when it begins to rain, And leave thee in a storm.
William Shakespeare
We suffer a lot the few things we lack and we enjoy too little the many things we have.
William Shakespeare
Sweetest nut hath sourest rind.
William Shakespeare
What is aught but as 'tis valued?
William Shakespeare
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
William Shakespeare
