More quotes by William Shakespeare
Have you not heard it said full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught?
William Shakespeare
O wretched state! o bosom black as death!
William Shakespeare
I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause But rather reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good, but given unsought better.
William Shakespeare
Words, vows, gifts, tears, and love's full sacrifice, He offers in another's enterprise But more in Troilus thousand-fold I see Than in the glass of Pandar's praise may be, Yet hold I off.
William Shakespeare
Fairies use flowers for their charactery.
William Shakespeare
When our actions do not, our fears make us traitors.

William Shakespeare
When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, The cuckoo then, on every tree, Mocks married men for thus sings he, Cuckoo Cuckoo, cuckoo O, word of fear, Unpleasing to a married ear.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep To sleep, perchance to dream—For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause, there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life
William Shakespeare
For mine own part, it was Greek to me.
William Shakespeare
In persons grafted in a serious trust, Negligence is a crime.
William Shakespeare
That truth should be silent I had almost forgot. (Enobarbus)
William Shakespeare
You must confine yourself within the modest limits of order.
William Shakespeare
There's small choice in rotten apples.
William Shakespeare
So many hours must I take my rest So many hours must I contemplate.
William Shakespeare
