More quotes by William Shakespeare
They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.
William Shakespeare
As love is full of unbefitting strains, All wanton as a child, skipping and vain, Form'd by the eye and therefore, like the eye, Full of strange shapes, of habits and of forms, Varying in subjects as the eye doth roll To every varied object in his glance
William Shakespeare
And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
William Shakespeare
When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again, It needs must wither. I'll smell it on the tree.
William Shakespeare
I long To hear the story of your life, which must Take the ear strangely.
William Shakespeare
The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.
William Shakespeare
Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.
William Shakespeare
They were devils incarnate.
William Shakespeare
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
William Shakespeare
O Death, made proud with pure and princely beauty!
William Shakespeare
There is little choice in a barrel of rotten apples.
William Shakespeare
'By heaven, that thou art fair, is most infallible true, that thou art beauteous truth itself, that thou art lovely. More fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal.
William Shakespeare
Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
Learning is but an adjunct to ourself, And where we are our learning likewise is.
William Shakespeare
Falsehood falsehood cures
William Shakespeare
Winding up days with toil and nights with sleep.
William Shakespeare
A sentence is but a cheveril glove to a good wit How quickly the wrong side may be turned outward!
William Shakespeare
The language I have learnt these forty years, My native English, now I must forgo And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp, Or like a cunning instrument cased up Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.
William Shakespeare
Nor shall this peace sleep with her but as when The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir As great in admiration as herself.
William Shakespeare
You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant But yet you draw not iron, for my heart Is true as steel: leave you your power to draw, And I shall have no power to follow you.
William Shakespeare
