More quotes by William Shakespeare
He must needs go that the devil drives.
William Shakespeare
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
William Shakespeare
Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath.
William Shakespeare
All of Creation’s a farce. Man was born as a joke. In his head his reason is buffeted Like wind-blown smoke. Life is a game. Everyone ridicules everyone else. But he who has the last laugh Laughs longest.
William Shakespeare
I do love My country's good with a respect more tender, More holy and profound, then mine own life, My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase, And treasure of my loins.
William Shakespeare
Appetite, a universal wolf.
William Shakespeare
'Tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to drink but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.
William Shakespeare
Set honour in one eye and death i' the other, And I will look on both indifferently.
William Shakespeare
All dark and comfortless.
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue if you have it not.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem Or those that be not, would they might seem none!.
William Shakespeare
When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me wouldst give me Water with berries in't and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night and then I loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.
William Shakespeare
Good company, good wine, good welcome, can make good people.
William Shakespeare
When Fortune means to men most good, She looks upon them with a threatening eye.
William Shakespeare
Avaunt, you cullions!
William Shakespeare
Here come the lovers, full of joy and mirth.— Joy, gentle friends! joy and fresh days of love Accompany your hearts!
William Shakespeare
There's nothing in this world can make me joy.
William Shakespeare
Nimble thought can jump both sea and land.
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season.
William Shakespeare
