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.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
William Shakespeare
Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority-a dog's obeyed in office.
William Shakespeare
You cram these words into mine ears against The stomach of my sense.
William Shakespeare
The sands are number'd that make up my life Here must I stay, and here my life must end.
William Shakespeare
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
At once, good night- Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.
William Shakespeare
O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
William Shakespeare
O no, thy love though much, is not so great, It is my love that keeps mine eye awake, Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, To play the watchman ever for thy sake. For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, From me far off, with others all too near.
William Shakespeare
Greatness knows itself.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
This night I hold an old accustomed feast, Whereto I have invited many a guest, Such as I love and you among the store, One more, most welcome, makes my number more.
William Shakespeare
For to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
William Shakespeare
I'll take thy word for faith, not ask thine oath Who shuns not to break one will sure crack both.
William Shakespeare
The leopard does not change his spots.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies Which busy care draws in the brains of men Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.
William Shakespeare
O for a horse with wings!
William Shakespeare
Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.
William Shakespeare
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are!
William Shakespeare
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.
William Shakespeare
