More quotes by William Shakespeare
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice And could of men distinguish her election, Sh'ath sealed thee for herself.
William Shakespeare
The sweets we wish for, turn to loathed sours, Even in the moment that we call them ours.
William Shakespeare
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet
William Shakespeare
And then he drew a dial from his poke, And looking with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, 'It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see', Quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, And then from hour to hour we rot and rot.
William Shakespeare
For some must watch, while some must sleep So runs the world away
William Shakespeare
A little fire is quickly trodden out, Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench.
William Shakespeare
The blood of youth burns not with such excess as gravity's revolt to wantonness.
William Shakespeare
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.
William Shakespeare
The teeming Autumn big with rich increase, bearing the wanton burden of the prime like widowed wombs after their lords decease.
William Shakespeare
Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee.
William Shakespeare
This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property ordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings.
William Shakespeare
War is no strife To the dark house and the detested wife.
William Shakespeare
Thy best of rest is sleep, And that thou oft provok'st yet grossly fear'st Thy death, which is no more.
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love, Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together Affliction alters.
William Shakespeare
The truest poetry is the most feigning.
William Shakespeare
A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects of watching!
William Shakespeare
Oh, how this spring of love resembleth, The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all beauty of the Sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away
William Shakespeare
To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans, Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain If lost, why then a grievous labour won However, but a folly bought with wit, Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast the most unsavoury similes.
William Shakespeare
