More quotes by William Shakespeare
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence
William Shakespeare
To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans, Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain If lost, why then a grievous labour won However, but a folly bought with wit, Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
William Shakespeare
When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength and this weakness gives strength to your opponents.
William Shakespeare
Who are the violets now That strew the lap of the new-come spring?
William Shakespeare
A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.
William Shakespeare
But say, my lord, it were not regist'red, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.
William Shakespeare
Away, you cut-purse rascal! you filthy bung, away! By this wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play the saucy cuttle with me. Away, you bottle-ale rascal! you basket-hilt stale juggler, you!
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself
William Shakespeare
Yet this my comfort: when your words are done, My woes end likewise with the evening sun.
William Shakespeare
Men must learn now with pity to dispense For policy sits above conscience.
William Shakespeare
It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.
William Shakespeare
I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered And a petition granted them, a strange one, To break the heart of generosity, And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon, Shouting their emulation.
William Shakespeare
While thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head.
William Shakespeare
Methought I was enamour'd of an ass.
William Shakespeare
...and then, in dreaming, / The clouds methought would open and show riches / Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked / I cried to dream again.
William Shakespeare
Polonius: Do you know me, my lord? Hamlet: Excellent well. You are a fishmonger.
William Shakespeare
So quick bright things come to confusion.
William Shakespeare
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare
Be checked for silence, But never taxed for speech.
William Shakespeare
