More quotes by William Shakespeare
Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing.
William Shakespeare
We cannot all be masters, nor all masters Cannot be truly followed.
William Shakespeare
Full of wise saws and modern instances.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Nimble thought can jump both sea and land.
William Shakespeare
Retire me to my Milan, where Every third thought shall be my grave.
William Shakespeare
Music, moody food Of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.
William Shakespeare
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
William Shakespeare
Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!
William Shakespeare
There lives within the very flame of love A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.
William Shakespeare
God is our fortress, in whose conquering name Let us resolve to scale their flinty bulwarks.
William Shakespeare
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
William Shakespeare
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
Light and lust are deadly enemies.
William Shakespeare
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
Some report a sea-maid spawn'd him some that he was begot between two stock-fishes. But it is certain that when he makes water his urine is congealed ice.
William Shakespeare
Tis a blushing shame-faced spirit that mutinies in a man's bosom. It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that (by chance) I found. It beggars any man that keeps it.
William Shakespeare
The instruments of darkness tell us truths.
William Shakespeare
