More quotes by William Shakespeare
You have lost no reputation at all, unless you repute yourself such a loser.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
I knew when seven justices could not take up a quarrel, but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an If, as, 'If you said so, then I said so' and they shook hands and swore brothers. Your If is the only peacemaker much virtue in If.
William Shakespeare
No man means evil but the devil, and we shall know him by his horns.
William Shakespeare
Pastime passing excellent, if it he husbanded with modesty.
William Shakespeare
Nothing 'gainst Times scythe can make defence.
William Shakespeare
Yet but three come one more. Two of both kinds make up four. Ere she comes curst and sad. Cupid is a knavish lad. Thus to make poor females mad.
William Shakespeare
Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze. I will not budge for no man's pleasure.
William Shakespeare
Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself.
William Shakespeare
I will be treble-sinewed, hearted, breathed, And fight maliciously for when mine hours Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives Of me for jests but now I'll set my teeth And send to darkness all that stop me.
William Shakespeare
The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through And keep their impious turbans on without Good morrow to the sun.
William Shakespeare
They are fairies he that speaks to them shall die. I'll wink and couch no man their works must eye.
William Shakespeare
Men from children nothing differ.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health, The fit is strongest. Evils that take leave, On their departure most of all show evil.
William Shakespeare
There is no such sport as sport by sport o'erthrown.
William Shakespeare
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William Shakespeare
As love is full of unbefitting strains, All wanton as a child, skipping and vain, Form'd by the eye and therefore, like the eye, Full of strange shapes, of habits and of forms, Varying in subjects as the eye doth roll To every varied object in his glance
William Shakespeare
