More quotes by William Shakespeare
For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry And so I hear he doth account me too.
William Shakespeare
For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare
My friends were poor, but honest, so's my love.
William Shakespeare
When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare
Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight The words of heaven on whom it will, it will, On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.
William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
Two may keep counsel putting one away!
William Shakespeare
Be not afraid of greatness.
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
Make passionate my sense of hearing.
William Shakespeare
My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears, Two traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores Of will and judgment.
William Shakespeare
Crack'd in pieces by malignant Death.
William Shakespeare
I stand for judgment: answer: shall I have it?
William Shakespeare
But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat.
William Shakespeare
Discuss unto me: art thou officer, Or art thou base, common, and popular?
William Shakespeare
For what is wedlock forced but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife? Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss, And is a pattern of celestial peace.
William Shakespeare
I have lov'd her ever since I saw her and still I see her beautiful
William Shakespeare
Friendship's full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
All surfeit is the father of much fast.
William Shakespeare
Let still woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart, For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner to be lost and warn, Than women's are.
William Shakespeare
