More quotes by William Shakespeare
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
William Shakespeare
Alas, our frailty is the cause , not we! For, such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word.
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
But now behold, In the quick forge and working-house of thought, How London doth pour out her citizens!
William Shakespeare
Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun.
William Shakespeare
Men must endure Their going hence, even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.
William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
Good fortune then! To make me blest or cursed'st among men.
William Shakespeare
I think the King is but a man as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me.
William Shakespeare
Take heed, dear heart, of this large privilege The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.
William Shakespeare
What the great ones do, the less will prattle of
William Shakespeare
The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo.
William Shakespeare
Foul whisp'rings are abroad.
William Shakespeare
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant, only once!
William Shakespeare
Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!
William Shakespeare
We bring forth weeds when our quick minds lie still.
William Shakespeare
And the more pity that great folk should have count'nance in this world to drown or hang themselves more than their even-Christen.
William Shakespeare
In love the heavens themselves do guide the state Money buys lands, and wives are sold by fate.
William Shakespeare
