More quotes by William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
William Shakespeare
Now I will believe that there are unicorns.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
William Shakespeare
More can I bear than you dare execute.
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare
What if this cursed hand Were thicker than itself with brother's blood Is there not rain enough in the sweet heaves To wash it white as snow?
William Shakespeare
If ever thou be'st bound in thy scarf and beaten, thou shalt find what it is to be proud of thy bondage.
William Shakespeare
Many dream not to find, neither deserve, and yet are steeped in favors.
William Shakespeare
Tis mad idolatry To make the service greater than the god.
William Shakespeare
The instruments of darkness tell us truths.
William Shakespeare
Dream on, dream on, of bloody deeds and death.
William Shakespeare
Tis a happy thing To be the father unto many sons.
William Shakespeare
That which in mean men we entitle patience is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.
William Shakespeare
it is my lady! *sighs* o, it is my love! o, that she knew she were! she speaks, yet she sais nothing. what of that? her eye discourses i will answer it. i am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return.
William Shakespeare
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our own virtues.
William Shakespeare
There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a game if you don't play the game. (Act 1, scene 4)
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.
William Shakespeare
O that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth! Then with passion would I shake the world.
William Shakespeare
