More quotes by William Shakespeare
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
William Shakespeare
I thank you all and here dismiss you all, and to the love and favor of my country commit myself, my person, and the cause.
William Shakespeare
Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff Life and these lips have long been separated: Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
William Shakespeare
And his unkindness may defeat my life, But never taint my love.
William Shakespeare
She dreams of him that has forgot her love You dote on her that cares not for your love. 'Tis pity love should be so contrary And thinking of it makes me cry 'alas!
William Shakespeare
Macduff: What three things does drink especially provoke? Porter: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine.
William Shakespeare
A rotten case abides no handling.
William Shakespeare
We must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in's own house.
William Shakespeare
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
Unless the old adage must be verified, That beggars mounted, run their horse to death.
William Shakespeare
Liberty plucks justice by the nose The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart Goes all decorum.
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
If men could be contented to be what they are, there were no fear in marriage.
William Shakespeare
O, the blood more stirs To rouse a lion than to start a hare!
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
An angel or, if not, An earthly paragon.
William Shakespeare
Can we outrun the heavens?
William Shakespeare
A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers.
William Shakespeare
Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
