More quotes by William Shakespeare
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
Instinct is a great matter. I was now a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
However wickedness outstrips men, it has no wings to fly from God.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
William Shakespeare
Opinion crowns with an imperial voice.
William Shakespeare
Delivers in such apt and gracious words that aged ears play truant at his tales And younger hearings are quite ravished So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
William Shakespeare
Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There is a river in Macedon, and there is moreover a river in Monmouth. It is called Wye at Monmouth, but it is out of my prains what is the name of the other river but 'tis all one, 'tis alike as my fingers is to my fingers, and there is salmons in both.
William Shakespeare
She's good, being gone.
William Shakespeare
It is thyself, mine own self's better part Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
William Shakespeare
O Ceremony, show me but thy worth? What is thy soul of adoration? Art thou aught else but place, degree, and form, Creating awe and fear in other men?
William Shakespeare
For honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar.
William Shakespeare
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
William Shakespeare
In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
William Shakespeare
What a piece of work is a man
William Shakespeare
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
William Shakespeare
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.
William Shakespeare
Shall I never see a bachelor of three score again?
