More quotes by William Shakespeare
Be wary then best safety lies in fear.
William Shakespeare
Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.
William Shakespeare
Know more than other. Work more than other. Expect less than other
William Shakespeare
Two starving men cannot be twice as hungry as one but two rascals can be ten times as vicious as one.
William Shakespeare
For I can raise no money by vile means.
William Shakespeare
Now the time is come, That France must veil her lofty-plumed crest, And let her head fall into England's lap.
William Shakespeare
Nothing can seem foul to those who win.
William Shakespeare
I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die.
William Shakespeare
Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries, As motion and long-during action tires The sinewy vigor of the traveller.
William Shakespeare
Virtue that transgresses is but patched with sin and sin that amends is but patched with virtue.
William Shakespeare
By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.
William Shakespeare
Take physic, pomp Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, That thou mayst shake the superflux to them And show the heavens more just.
William Shakespeare
Withal I did infer your lineaments, Being the right idea of your father, Both in your form and nobleness of mind Laid open all your victories in Scotland, Your discipline in war, wisdom in peace, Your bounty, virtue, fair humility Indeed, left nothing fitting for your purpose Untouch'd or slightly handled in discourse.
William Shakespeare
Oh, injurious love, that respites me a life, whose very comfort is still a dying horror
William Shakespeare
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
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
Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain.
William Shakespeare
Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.
William Shakespeare
