More quotes by William Shakespeare
Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here at hand, And the youth, mistook by me, Pleading for a lover's fee. Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
To die, to sleep - To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub, For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
A pox o’ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!

William Shakespeare
Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle I am no traitor's uncle, and that word grace In an ungracious mouth is but profane.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
What is done cannot be now amended.
William Shakespeare
Nice customs curtsy to great kings.
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
He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.
William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Life... is a paradise to what we know of death.
William Shakespeare
