More quotes by William Shakespeare
Tongues I'll hang on every tree That shall civil sayings show. . . .
William Shakespeare
Poise the cause in justice's equal scales, Whose beam stands sure, whose rightful cause prevails.
William Shakespeare
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . .
William Shakespeare
For what I will, I will, and there an end.
William Shakespeare
He's a soldier and for one to say a soldier lies, is stabbing.
William Shakespeare
Love sees with the heart and not with mind.
William Shakespeare
If the skin were parchment and the blows you gave were ink, Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.
William Shakespeare
I am indeed not her fool, but her corrupter of words. (Act III, sc. I, 37-38)
William Shakespeare
Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
William Shakespeare
Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
William Shakespeare
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
William Shakespeare
When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare
Men have marble, women waxen, minds.
William Shakespeare
Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty.
William Shakespeare
O shame, where is thy blush?
William Shakespeare
Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast...
William Shakespeare
If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.
William Shakespeare
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
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
