More quotes by William Shakespeare
O all you host of heaven! O earth! What else? And shall I couple Hell?
William Shakespeare
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
William Shakespeare
Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek, Where several worthies make one dignity, Where nothing wants that want itself doth seek.
William Shakespeare
Lawyers Are: Perilous mouths.
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
Not all the water in the rough rude sea Can wash the balm from an anointed King.
William Shakespeare
O no, thy love though much, is not so great, It is my love that keeps mine eye awake, Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, To play the watchman ever for thy sake. For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, From me far off, with others all too near.
William Shakespeare
Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
William Shakespeare
A little water clears us of this deed.
William Shakespeare
Give me a bowl of wine, In this I bury all unkindness.
William Shakespeare
A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond justice rails upon yon simple thief. Hark, in thine ear: change places and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the thief?
William Shakespeare
Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, meeting the check of such another day.
William Shakespeare
Besides, our nearness to the King in love Is near the hate of those love not the King.
William Shakespeare
He is deformed, crooked, old and sere, Ill-faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.
William Shakespeare
You are my true and honourable wife As dear to me as the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart.
William Shakespeare
Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.
William Shakespeare
I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.
William Shakespeare
Hang him, swaggering rascal!
William Shakespeare
Never durst poet touch a pen to write Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs.
William Shakespeare
