More quotes by William Shakespeare
I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.
William Shakespeare
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry And so I hear he doth account me too.
William Shakespeare
Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.
William Shakespeare
Virtuous and fair, royal and gracious.
William Shakespeare
Thou ever young, fresh, lov'd, and delicate wooer, whose blush doth thaw the consecrated snow
William Shakespeare
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
William Shakespeare
I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.
William Shakespeare
And how his audit stands who knows, save Heaven?
William Shakespeare
The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place, Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, Office, and custom, in all line of order.
William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.
William Shakespeare
Fire that's closest kept burns most of all.
William Shakespeare
Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?
William Shakespeare
For now I stand as one upon a rock environed with a wilderness of sea, who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave, expecting ever when some envious surge will in his brinish bowels swallow him.
William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait, His day's hot task hath ended in the west: The owl, night's herald, shrieks-'tis very late The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light, Do summon us to part, and bid good night.
William Shakespeare
Journeys end in lovers meeting.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
If our virtues did not go forth of us, it were all alike as if we had them not.
William Shakespeare
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry.
William Shakespeare
