Quote

I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking so full of valor that they smote the air, for breathing in their faces, beat the ground for kissing of their feet.

Image
You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air, I banish you And here remain with your uncertainty!
William Shakespeare
Image
I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.
William Shakespeare
Image
She marking them begins a wailing note And sings extemporally a woeful ditty How love makes young men thrall and old men dote How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, And still the choir of echoes answer so.
William Shakespeare
Image
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
William Shakespeare
Image
Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare
Image
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
William Shakespeare
Image
The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, In forms imaginary, th' unguided days And rotten times that you shall look upon When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
William Shakespeare
Image
O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.
William Shakespeare
Image
Time, whose millioned accidents creep in betwixt vows, and change decrees of kings, tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharpest intents, divert strong minds to the course of altering things.
William Shakespeare
Image
A ministering angel shall my sister be.
William Shakespeare
Image
The devil knew what he did when he made men politic he crossed himself by it.
William Shakespeare
Image
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
Image
The apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
William Shakespeare
Image
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
William Shakespeare
Image
Where hateful Death put on his ugliest mask.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity.
William Shakespeare
Image
If I lose my honor, I lose myself: better I were not yours Than yours so branchless.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ay, when fowls have no feathers and fish have no fin.
William Shakespeare
Image
Slander lives upon succession, For ever housed where it gets possession.
