More quotes by William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
Experience teacheth us That resolution 's a sole help at need: And this, my lord, our honour teacheth us, That we be bold in every enterprise: Then since there is no way, but fight or die, Be resolute, my lord, for victory.
William Shakespeare
The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.
William Shakespeare
Simply the thing that I am shall make me live.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar school.
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground, and tell sad stories of the death of kings... All murdered for within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of a king, keeps Death his court... and with a little pin bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
William Shakespeare
Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have, Not knowing them until we know their grave.
William Shakespeare
To move wild laughter in the throat of death? It cannot be it is impossible: Mirth cannot move a soul in agony.
William Shakespeare
Graze on my lips and if those hills be dry, stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
William Shakespeare
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.
William Shakespeare
We go to gain a little patch of ground that hath in it no profit but the name.
William Shakespeare
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.
William Shakespeare
Blessings of your heart, you brew good ale.
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ready with every nod to tumble down Into the fatal bowels of the deep.
William Shakespeare
Our wills and fates do so contrary run, That our devices still are overthrown Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.
William Shakespeare
Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly.
William Shakespeare
Love does not see with the eyes, but with the soul.
William Shakespeare
My nature is subdued to what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
William Shakespeare
