More quotes by William Shakespeare
Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud The eating canter dwells, so eating love Inhabits in the finest wits of all.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
Scarce can I speak, my choler is so great. Oh! I could hew up rocks, and fight with flint.
William Shakespeare
If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' shell.
William Shakespeare
This fell sergeant, Death, Is strict in his arrest.
William Shakespeare
Tis beauty that doth oft make women proud but, God He knows, thy share thereof is small.
William Shakespeare
Fie, fie upon her! There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Nay, her foot speaks her wanton spirits look out At every joint and motive of her body.
William Shakespeare
Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears.
William Shakespeare
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air the earth sings when he touches it the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
William Shakespeare
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, Th' endeavor of this present breath may buy That honor which shall bate his scythe's keen edge And make us heirs of all eternity.
William Shakespeare
Good old grandsire ... we shall be joyful of thy company.
William Shakespeare
I love thee, I love thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
William Shakespeare
Winter, which, being full of care, makes summer's welcome thrice more wish'd, more rare.
William Shakespeare
If you shall marry, You give away this hand, and this is mine You give away heaven's vows, and those are mine You give away myself, which is known mine For I by vow am so embodied yours That she which marries you must marry me-- Either both or none.
William Shakespeare
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose, And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer, The childing autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world, By their increase, now knows not which is which.
William Shakespeare
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
William Shakespeare
Fall Greeks fail fame honour or go or stay My major vow lies here, this I'll obey.
William Shakespeare
See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.
William Shakespeare
For youth no less becomes The light and careless livery that it wears, Than settled age his sables, and his weeds Importing health and graveness.
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself
William Shakespeare
