More quotes by William Shakespeare
Who soars too near the sun, with golden wings, melts them.
William Shakespeare
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
William Shakespeare
Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back, When gold and silver becks me to come on.
William Shakespeare
Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both!
William Shakespeare
Blood will have blood.
William Shakespeare
I cannot speak your england.
William Shakespeare
Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons' difference, as the icy fang And churlish chiding of the winter's wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body, Even till I shrink with cold, I smile.
William Shakespeare
And Caesar shall go forth.
William Shakespeare
I'll forbear And am fallen out with my more headier will To take the indisposed and sickly fit For the sound man.
William Shakespeare
I am declined Into the vale of years.
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself.
William Shakespeare
I have pursued her, as love hath pursued me
William Shakespeare
O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me!
William Shakespeare
It is the stars, The stars above us, govern our conditions.
William Shakespeare
The weariest and most loathed worldly life, that age, ache, penury and imprisonment can lay on nature is a paradise, to what we fear of death.
William Shakespeare
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious And Brutus is an honourable man.
William Shakespeare
It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.
William Shakespeare
What infinite heart's-ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy! And what have kings that privates have not too, Save ceremony, save general ceremony?
William Shakespeare
