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.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
William Shakespeare
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue, rather makes choice of loss, than gain which darkens him.
William Shakespeare
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name such tricks hath strong imagination.
William Shakespeare
Each substance of a grief has twenty shadows.
William Shakespeare
Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them.
William Shakespeare
I drink to the general joy o’ the whole table. Macbeth
William Shakespeare
Will you walk out of the air, my lord? HAMLET Into my grave.
William Shakespeare
To some kind of men their graces serve them but as enemies.
William Shakespeare
Beauty lives with kindness.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Abandon all remorse On horror's head horrors accumulate.
William Shakespeare
The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.
William Shakespeare
What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.
William Shakespeare
O call not me to justify the wrong, That thy unkindness lays upon my heart, Wound me not with thine eye but with thy tongue, Use power with power, and slay me not by art.
William Shakespeare
Woe to that land that's governed by a child.
William Shakespeare
Shall I never see a bachelor of three score again?
William Shakespeare
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born, To signify thou camest to bite the world.
William Shakespeare
I am a great eater of beef, and I believe that does harm to my wit.
William Shakespeare
