More quotes by William Shakespeare
One sin, I know, another doth provoke. Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke.
William Shakespeare
Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools.
William Shakespeare
The weariest and most loathed worldly life, that age, ache, penury and imprisonment can lay on nature is a paradise, to what we fear of death.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
Though she be but little, she is fierce!
William Shakespeare
The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood.
William Shakespeare
I pray thee cease thy counsel, Which falls into mine ears as profitless as water in a sieve.
William Shakespeare
Come, swear it, damn thyself, lest, being like one of heaven, the devils themselves should fear to seize thee therefore be double-damned, swear,--thou art honest.
William Shakespeare
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
William Shakespeare
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troops, and the big wars That make ambition virtue.
William Shakespeare
Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.
William Shakespeare
Men from children nothing differ.
William Shakespeare
I am not prone to weeping as our sex commonly are the want of which vain dew perchance shall dry your pities but I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown.
William Shakespeare
Temptation: the fiend at my elbow.
William Shakespeare
Every man has business and desire, Such as it is.
William Shakespeare
