More quotes by William Shakespeare
When holy and devout religious men are at their beads, 'tis hard to draw them thence so sweet is zealous contemplation.
William Shakespeare
Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.
William Shakespeare
Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear
William Shakespeare
The wound of peace is surety, Surety secure but modest doubt is called The beacon of the wise, the tent that searches To th' bottom of the worst.
William Shakespeare
So may the outward shows be least themselves The world is still deceived with ornament.
William Shakespeare
I can see his pride Peep through each part of him.
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men And being men, hearing the will of Caesar, It will inflame you, it will make you mad.
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Her father lov'd me oft invited me Still question'd me the story of my life, From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, That I have pass'd.
William Shakespeare
But shall we wear these glories for a day? Or shall they last, and we rejoice in them?
William Shakespeare
If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide, By self-example mayst thou be denied.
William Shakespeare
Hear the meaning within the word.
William Shakespeare
Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils.
William Shakespeare
O, teach me how you look, and with what art You sway the motion of Demetrius' heart.-Helena
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
A book? O, rare one, Be not, as is our fangled world, a garment Nobler than that it covers.
William Shakespeare
Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.
William Shakespeare
Words spoken can not be recalled so think twice before you speak.
William Shakespeare
Loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
William Shakespeare
