I have been studying how I may compare This prison where I live unto the world And, for because the world is populous, And here is not a creature but myself, I cannot do it. Yet I'll hammer it out.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
How low am I, thou painted maypole?
William Shakespeare
So sweet was ne'er so fatal. I must weep. But they are creul tears. This sorrow's heavenly it strikes where it doth love.
William Shakespeare
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least speak most, to my capacity.
William Shakespeare
Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep.
William Shakespeare
thus with a kiss I die
William Shakespeare
If is a custom, More honor'd in the breach than the observance.
William Shakespeare
What light through yonder window breaks?
William Shakespeare
If I had my mouth, I would bite if I had my liberty, I would do my liking. In the meantime, let me be that I am, and seek not toalter me.
William Shakespeare
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . .
William Shakespeare
Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
William Shakespeare
Here's flowers for you Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram The marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun And with him rises weeping: these are flowers Of middle summer, and I think they are given To men of middle age.
William Shakespeare
Join not with grief, fair woman, do not so, To make my end too sudden.
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
I always thought it was both impious and unnatural that such immanity and bloody strife should reign among professors of one faith.
William Shakespeare
There lives within the very flame of love A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.
William Shakespeare
Loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
William Shakespeare
All things are ready, if our mind be so.
William Shakespeare
But Kate, dost thou understand thus much English? Canst thou love me? Catherine: I cannot tell. Henry: Can any of your neighbours tell, Kate? I'll ask them.
William Shakespeare
Ambition, the soldier's virtue, rather makes choice of loss, than gain which darkens him.
William Shakespeare
For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare
