More quotes by William Shakespeare
When we our betters see bearing our woes, We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
William Shakespeare
My rage is gone, And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers I'll be one. Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully, Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, Which to this hour bewail the injury, Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triump die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume
William Shakespeare
Good wombs have borne bad sons. -- (Miranda, I:2)
William Shakespeare
Who is it that can tell me who I am?
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
A noble shalt thou have, and present pay And liquor likewise will I give to thee, And friendship shall combine, and brotherhood.
William Shakespeare
The seeming truth which cunning times put on to entrap the wisest.
William Shakespeare
All his successors gone before him have done 't and all his ancestors that come after him may.
William Shakespeare
Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honor for an inward toil And, for unfelt imaginations, They often feel a world of restless cares.
William Shakespeare
