Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
The wind-shak'd surge, with high and monstrous main, Seems to cast water on the burning Bear, And quench the guards of the ever-fixed pole.
William Shakespeare
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
William Shakespeare
Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears.
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
Why, thou deboshed fish thou...Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish and half a monster?
William Shakespeare
Be not too tame neither, but let your own Discretion be your tutor suit the action to the word, the word to the action.
William Shakespeare
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
William Shakespeare
Haste is needful in a desperate case.
William Shakespeare
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe. And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot And thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare
My cousin's a fool, and thou art another.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true, have often lived alone.
William Shakespeare
The morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness.
William Shakespeare
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
William Shakespeare
so full of shapes is fancy
William Shakespeare
Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow.
William Shakespeare
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say - I love you
William Shakespeare
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't.
William Shakespeare
We cannot fight for love, as men may do we shou'd be woo'd, and were not made to woo
William Shakespeare
To some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies.
William Shakespeare
