More quotes by William Shakespeare
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William Shakespeare
I always thought it was both impious and unnatural that such immanity and bloody strife should reign among professors of one faith.
William Shakespeare
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
William Shakespeare
Tis much when sceptres are in children's hands, But more when envy breeds unkind division: There comes the ruin, there begins confusion.
William Shakespeare
This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange That even our loves should with our fortunes change, For 'tis a question left us yet to prove, Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
William Shakespeare
Justice always whirls in equal measure.
William Shakespeare
He is not great who is not greatly good.
William Shakespeare
There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately long love doth so too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty look, repeats his words, Remembers me of his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form
William Shakespeare
Open thy gate of mercy, gracious God, My soul flies through these wounds to seek out thee.
William Shakespeare
But when I came, alas, to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare
Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures.
William Shakespeare
Sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
William Shakespeare
He's truly valiant that can wisely suffer The worst that man can breathe, and make his wrongs His outsides, to wear them like his raiment, carelessly, And ne'er prefer his injuries to his heart, To bring it into danger.
William Shakespeare
If people knew how much I hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
I see, sir, you are liberal in offers. You taught me first to beg, and now methinks You teach me how a beggar should be answered.
William Shakespeare
You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs.
William Shakespeare
Thou seest I have more flesh than another man, and therefore more frailty.
William Shakespeare
