More quotes by William Shakespeare
A turn or two I'll walk To still my beating mind.
William Shakespeare
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
William Shakespeare
Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affection, Figures pedantical--these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
William Shakespeare
That we would do We should do when we would, for this 'would' changes, And hath abatements and delays as many As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents, And then this 'should' is like a spendthrift sigh, That hurts by easing.
William Shakespeare
All offences come from the heart.
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
Time is the old justice that examines all such offenders, and let Time try.
William Shakespeare
What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs?
William Shakespeare
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano!
William Shakespeare
On Rumor's tongue continual slanders ride.
William Shakespeare
No, by my soul, I never in my life Did hear a challenge urged more modestly, Unless a brother should a brother dare To gentle exercise and proof of arms.
William Shakespeare
Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
William Shakespeare
The head is not more native to the heart.
William Shakespeare
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost It yearns me not if me my garments wear Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive.
William Shakespeare
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate his tears pure messengers sent from his heart his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth
William Shakespeare
Preposterous ass, that never read so far to know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare
Death where is thy sting? Love, where is thy glory?
William Shakespeare
Beauty's a doubtful good, a glass, a flower, Lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour And beauty, blemish'd once, for ever's lost, In spite of physic, painting, pain, and cost.
William Shakespeare
Use every man according to his desert and who should 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity, the less they deserve ... the more merit in your bounty.
William Shakespeare
What's done is done. The joy is in the doing.
William Shakespeare
