More quotes by William Shakespeare
Demand me nothing: what you know, you know.
William Shakespeare
To show our simple skill, That is the true beginning of our end.
William Shakespeare
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.
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
Why, who cries out on pride that can therein tax any private party? Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea till the weary very means do ebb?
William Shakespeare
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.
William Shakespeare
Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?
William Shakespeare
Every inordinate cup is unbless'd, and the ingredient is a devil.
William Shakespeare
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
William Shakespeare
My father's wit, and my mother's tongue, assist me!
William Shakespeare
Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws.
William Shakespeare
He is deformed, crooked, old and sere, Ill-faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.
William Shakespeare
Value dwells not in particular will It holds his estimate and dignity As well wherein 'tis precious of itself As in the prizer.
William Shakespeare
Assure thee, if I do vow a friendship, I'll perform it to the last article. --Othello, Act III, Scene iii
William Shakespeare
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind So flew'd, so sanded their heads are hung with ears that sweep away the morning dew.
William Shakespeare
But men are men the best sometimes forget.
William Shakespeare
Use every man according to his desert and who should 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity, the less they deserve ... the more merit in your bounty.
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
Can we outrun the heavens?
William Shakespeare
Well, God give them wisdom that have it and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
William Shakespeare
