Who is it that can tell me who I am?
William Shakespeare
Image
Ah me, how weak a thing The heart of woman is!
William Shakespeare
Image
Friendship is constant in all other things, save in the office and affairs of love.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it.
William Shakespeare
Image
I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Image
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
Image
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
William Shakespeare
Image
But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.
William Shakespeare
Image
But like of each thing that in season grows.
William Shakespeare
Image
Courage and comfort, all shall yet go well
William Shakespeare
Image
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thus we play the fool with the time and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
William Shakespeare
Image
Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!
William Shakespeare
Image
An old black ram is tupping your white ewe
William Shakespeare
Image
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service
William Shakespeare
Image
I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .
William Shakespeare
Image
Things in motion sooner catch the eye than what not stirs.
William Shakespeare
Image
He was met even now As mad as the vex'd sea singing aloud Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers, Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow In our sustaining corn.
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love runs away from those chasing her, and those who run away, she throws herself on his neck.
William Shakespeare
