Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
This liberty is all that I request.
William Shakespeare
The instances that second marriage move Are base respects of thrift, but none of love.
William Shakespeare
In thy face I see the map of honour, truth and loyalty.
William Shakespeare
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
William Shakespeare
Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have, Not knowing them until we know their grave.
William Shakespeare
A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
William Shakespeare
For Brutus is an honourable man So are they all, all honourable men.
William Shakespeare
Brutus, I do observe you now of late: I have not from your eyes that gentleness And show of love as I was wont to have: You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand Over your friend that loves you. Poor Brutus, with himself at war, Forgets the shows of love to other men.
William Shakespeare
But the strong base and building of my love is as the very centre of the earth, drawing all things to it.
William Shakespeare
Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan The outward habit by the inward man.
William Shakespeare
It is a wise father that knows his own child.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority-a dog's obeyed in office.
William Shakespeare
The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
William Shakespeare
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.
William Shakespeare
I can counterfeit the deep tragedian Speak and look back, and pry on every side, Tremble and start, at wagging of a straw, Intending deep suspicion.
William Shakespeare
Ah me, how weak a thing The heart of woman is!
William Shakespeare
Under the greenwood tree, Who loves to lie with me And tune his merry note, Unto the sweet bird's throat Come hither, come hither, come hither. Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather.
William Shakespeare
Every cloud engenders not a storm.
William Shakespeare
