More quotes by William Shakespeare
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
William Shakespeare
Of all the fair resort of gentlemen That every day with parle encounter me, In thy opinion which is worthiest love?
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever. Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
William Shakespeare
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
Then love-devouring Death do what he dare.
William Shakespeare
Why, then the world ’s mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
William Shakespeare
I stalk about her door, like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks staying for waftage.
William Shakespeare
But most it is presumption in us when the help of heaven we count the act of men.
William Shakespeare
There is Throats to be cut, and Works to be done.
William Shakespeare
No matter where of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women mearly players.
William Shakespeare
The king's name is a tower of strength.
William Shakespeare
So are you to my thoughts as food to life, or as sweet seasoned showers are to the ground.
William Shakespeare
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend?
William Shakespeare
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
Sweet recreation barred, what doth ensue but moody and dull melancholy, kinsman to grim and comfortless despair.
William Shakespeare
When we our betters see bearing our woes, We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
William Shakespeare
I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
William Shakespeare
