More quotes by William Shakespeare
Love is a spirit all compact of fire.
William Shakespeare
Men have marble, women waxen, minds.
William Shakespeare
Give me that man that is not passion's slave, and I will wear him in my heart's core, in my heart of heart, as I do thee.
William Shakespeare
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
William Shakespeare
Courage mounteth with occasion.
William Shakespeare
Tax not so bad a voice to slander music any more than once.
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
Glory is like a circle in the water
William Shakespeare
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
William Shakespeare
No metal can--no, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness of thy sharp envy.
William Shakespeare
Love is . . . a madness most discreet
William Shakespeare
Ne'er ask me what raiment I'll wear, for I have no more doublets than backs, no more stockings than legs, nor no more shoes than feet--nay, sometime more feet than shoes, or such shoes as my toes look through the overleather.
William Shakespeare
Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.
William Shakespeare
Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward, But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
William Shakespeare
O sir, you are old nature in you stands on the very verge of her confine you should be ruled and led by some discretion, that discerns your fate better than you yourself.
William Shakespeare
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.
William Shakespeare
So distribution should undo excess, and each man have enough.
William Shakespeare
Glendower: I can call the spirits from the vasty deep. Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man But will they come, when you do call for them?
William Shakespeare
It was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common.
William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
