More quotes by William Shakespeare
Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltiness of time.
William Shakespeare
The time of universal peace is near. Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked world Shall bear the olive freely.
William Shakespeare
For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
William Shakespeare
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
William Shakespeare
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
For youth no less becomes The light and careless livery that it wears, Than settled age his sables, and his weeds Importing health and graveness.
William Shakespeare
Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow. Come, mourn with me for what I do lament, And put sullen black incontinent. I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land To wash this blood off from my guilty hand. March sadly after. Grace my mournings here In weeping after this untimely bier.
William Shakespeare
Now I am past all comforts here, but prayer.
William Shakespeare
What, can the devil speak true?
William Shakespeare
Romeo: Courage, man the hurt cannot be much. Mercutio: No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
William Shakespeare
So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
There's nothing in this world can make me joy.
William Shakespeare
Fie, fie, how frantically I square my talk!
William Shakespeare
This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, . . . This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.
William Shakespeare
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love... 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare
My pride fell with my fortunes.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast the most unsavoury similes.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
