More quotes by William Shakespeare
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
William Shakespeare
Small to greater matters must give way.
William Shakespeare
Wait for the season when to cast good counsels upon subsiding passion.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are!
William Shakespeare
Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd, Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked, or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee.
William Shakespeare
How every fool can play upon the word!
William Shakespeare
We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that ever I could read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Crowns have their compass-length of days their date- Triumphs their tomb-felicity, her fate- Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker, But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker.
William Shakespeare
He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear His hopes 'bove wisdom, grace and fear: And you all know, security Is mortals' chiefest enemy.
William Shakespeare
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
William Shakespeare
The hideous god of war.
William Shakespeare
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare
Show me a mistress that is passing fair, what doth her beauty serve but as a note where I may read who pass'd that passing fair?
William Shakespeare
I see a man's life is a tedious one.
William Shakespeare
This is the third time I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.
William Shakespeare
What the vengeance, could he not speak 'em fair?
William Shakespeare
By-and-by is easily said.
William Shakespeare
Let the galled jade wince our withers are unwrung.
William Shakespeare
