William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
For which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?
William Shakespeare
You'd be so lean, that blast of January Would blow you through and through. Now, my fair'st friend, I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might Become your time of day.
William Shakespeare
The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen As is the razor's edge invisible.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men.
William Shakespeare
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William Shakespeare
Join not with grief, fair woman, do not so, To make my end too sudden.
William Shakespeare
My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white.
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet, But poisoned flattery?
William Shakespeare
O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)
William Shakespeare
O, she misused me past the endurance of a block.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Though inclination be as sharp as will, My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent, And, like a man to double business bound, I stand in pause where I shall first begin, And both neglect.
William Shakespeare
It is the purpose that makes strong the vow But vows to every purpose must not hold.
William Shakespeare
By a divine instinct, men's minds mistrust ensuing danger as, by proof, we see the waters swell before a boisterous storm.
William Shakespeare
