More quotes by William Shakespeare
Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it: what thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But as the unthought-on accident is guilty To what we wildly do, so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies Of every wind that blows.
William Shakespeare
O madam, my old heart is cracked, it's cracked!
William Shakespeare
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
