More quotes by William Shakespeare
I'll privily away I love the people, But do not like to stage me to their eyes Though it do well, I do not relish well Their loud applause and aves vehement, Nor do I think the man of safe discretion That does not affect it.
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
I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
I heard a bustling rumor like a fray, And the wind blows it from the Capitol.
William Shakespeare
You know that love Will creep in service where it cannot go.
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
There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.
William Shakespeare
She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
William Shakespeare
Methinks you are my glass, and not my brother: I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth.
William Shakespeare
I myself am best When least in company.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
By how much unexpected, by so much We must awake endeavour for defence For courage mounteth with occasion.
William Shakespeare
Shall we upon the footing of our land Send fair-play orders, and make compromise, Insinuation, parley, and base truce, To arms invasive?
William Shakespeare
For grief is crowned with consolation.
William Shakespeare
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
William Shakespeare
I had rather live with cheese and garlic in a windmill.
William Shakespeare
Give obedience where 'tis truly owed.
William Shakespeare
Exceeds man's might: that dwells with the gods above.
William Shakespeare
As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, at turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant, as earth to centre.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
