My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man That function is smothered in surmise, And nothing is but what is not.
William Shakespeare
Image
My brain more busy than the labouring spider Weaves tedious snares to trap mine enemies.
William Shakespeare
Image
Bounty, being free itself, thinks all others so.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am a subject, And I challenge law. Attorneys are denied me, And therefore personally I lay my claim To my inheritance of free descent.
William Shakespeare
Image
O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
William Shakespeare
Image
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
Image
The very instant I saw you, did My heart fly to your service there resides To make me slave to it. ...mine unworthiness, that dare not offer What I desire to give, and much less take What I shall die to want.
William Shakespeare
Image
Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet: Or like a whale? Polonius: Very like a whale.
William Shakespeare
Image
Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
Image
Would I were dead, if God's good will were so, For what is in this world but grief and woe?
William Shakespeare
Image
An habitation giddy and unsure Hath he that buildeth on the vulgar heart.
William Shakespeare
Image
Come, go with us, speak fair you may salve so, Not what is dangerous present, but the los Of what is past.
William Shakespeare
Image
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life.
William Shakespeare
Image
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.
William Shakespeare
Image
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind So flew'd, so sanded their heads are hung with ears that sweep away the morning dew.
William Shakespeare
Image
Get thee glass eyes, and like a scurvy politician, seem to see the things thou dost not.
William Shakespeare
Image
But when I came, alas, to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare
Image
My heart suspects more than mine eye can see.
William Shakespeare
Image
When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare
Image
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant, Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.
