More quotes by William Shakespeare
Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil. Are empty trunks o'erflourished by the devil.
William Shakespeare
Exceeds man's might: that dwells with the gods above.
William Shakespeare
Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral bak'd meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
William Shakespeare
Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which enriches him and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
Give me a staff of honor for mine age, But not a sceptre to control the world.
William Shakespeare
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73
William Shakespeare
There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple. If the ill spirit have so fair a house, Good things will strive to dwell with't
William Shakespeare
Full many a lady I have eyed with best regard, and many a time Th' harmony of their tongues hath into bondage Brought my too diligent ear for several virtues Have I liked several women never any With so full soul but some defect in her Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed, And put it to the foil.
William Shakespeare
Thus weary of the world, away she hies, And yokes her silver doves by whose swift aid Their mistress mounted through the empty skies In her light chariot quickly is convey'd Holding their course to Paphos, where their queen Means to immure herself and not be seen.
William Shakespeare
There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune.
William Shakespeare
Contention, like a horse, Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose, And bears down all before him.
William Shakespeare
Our wills and fates do so contrary run.
William Shakespeare
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
William Shakespeare
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service
William Shakespeare
A man cannot make him laugh but that's no marvel he drinks no wine.... If I had a thousand sons, the first human principle I would teach them should be, to forswear thin potations and to addict themselves to sack.
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
Small to greater matters must give way.
William Shakespeare
I understand a fury in your words But not your words.
William Shakespeare
What, man, defy the devil. Consider, he's an enemy to mankind.
William Shakespeare
