More quotes by William Shakespeare
Oft have I heard that grief softens the mind And makes it fearful and degenerate.
William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
France is a dog-hole, and it no more merits the tread of a man's foot.
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
Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
O! that a man might know The end of this day's business, ere it come But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known.
William Shakespeare
We make trifles of terrors, Ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, When we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear.
William Shakespeare
All dark and comfortless.
William Shakespeare
Nor shall this peace sleep with her but as when The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir As great in admiration as herself.
William Shakespeare
