O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!
William Shakespeare
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
William Shakespeare
ROSS You must have patience, madam. LADY MACDUFF He had none: His flight was madness: when our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors.
William Shakespeare
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
William Shakespeare
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
William Shakespeare
That which in mean men we entitle patience is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.
William Shakespeare
By Heaven, I love thee better than myself
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
It is not, nor it cannot, come to good, But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
William Shakespeare
Because it is a customary cross, As die to love as thoughts, and dreams, and sighs, Wishes, and tears, poor fancy's followers.
William Shakespeare
The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see.
William Shakespeare
The worm is not to be trusted.
William Shakespeare
Tis the times' plague, when madmen lead the blind.
William Shakespeare
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
William Shakespeare
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.
William Shakespeare
O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.
William Shakespeare
What is honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no.
William Shakespeare
The sands are number'd that make up my life Here must I stay, and here my life must end.
William Shakespeare
Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time.
William Shakespeare
Is this a vision? Is this a dream? Do I sleep?
William Shakespeare
