More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson, senseless villain!
William Shakespeare
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
William Shakespeare
I am sure, Though you can guess what temperance should be, You know not what it is.
William Shakespeare
No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.
William Shakespeare
Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead, excessive grief the enemy to the living.
William Shakespeare
How well he's read, to reason against reading!
William Shakespeare
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
William Shakespeare
O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Against the wreckful siege of battering days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs?
William Shakespeare
The happiest youth, viewing his progress through, What perils past, what crosses to ensue, Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.
William Shakespeare
Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
William Shakespeare
Oh God! that one might read the book of fate, And see the revolution of the times Make mountains level, and the continent, Weary of solid firmness, melt itself Into the sea.
William Shakespeare
'Tis not to make me jealous To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well Where virtue is, these are more virtuous.
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
Upon his royal face there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him.
William Shakespeare
Fruits that blossom first will first be ripe.
William Shakespeare
Awake, dear heart, awake. Thou hast slept well. Awake.
William Shakespeare
Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.
William Shakespeare
Thou canst not speak of what thou dost not feel.
William Shakespeare
