More quotes by William Shakespeare
The smallest worm will turn being trodden on, And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood.
William Shakespeare
A high hope for a low heaven: God grant us patience!
William Shakespeare
I love him for his sake And yet I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him That they take place when virtue's steely bones Looks bleak i' th' cold wind withal, full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
William Shakespeare
And what’s he then that says I play the villain?
William Shakespeare
Verily, I swear, it is better to be lowly born, and range with humble livers in content, than to be perked up in a glistering grief, and wear a golden sorrow.
William Shakespeare
Nay, had I pow'r, I should Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, Uproar the universal peace, confound All unity on earth.
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
The art of our necessities is strange That can make vile things precious.
William Shakespeare
God mark thee to His grace! Thou was the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And might I live to see thee married once, I have my wish.
William Shakespeare
Cease to lament for that thou canst not help and study help for that which thou lamentest.
William Shakespeare
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
William Shakespeare
Oh, I am fortune's fool!
William Shakespeare
There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.
William Shakespeare
Some there be that shadows kiss Such have but a shadow's bliss.
William Shakespeare
Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare
There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions.
William Shakespeare
Holy, fair, and wise is she The heaven such grace did lend her, That she might admired be.
William Shakespeare
Supposition all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes For treason is but trusted like the fox, Who, ne'er so tame, so cherished and locked up, Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
William Shakespeare
Time ... thou ceaseless lackey to eternity.
William Shakespeare
Better three hours too soon, than one hour to late.
William Shakespeare
