More quotes by William Shakespeare
Your wisdom is consum'd in confidence. Do not go forth to-day.
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
When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?
William Shakespeare
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
My salad days, When I was green in judgment.
William Shakespeare
As in a theatre, the eyes of men, after a well-graced actor leaves the stage, are idly bent on him that enters next.
William Shakespeare
Now the time is come, That France must veil her lofty-plumed crest, And let her head fall into England's lap.
William Shakespeare
What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, That he should weep for her?
William Shakespeare
I can counterfeit the deep tragedian Speak and look back, and pry on every side, Tremble and start, at wagging of a straw, Intending deep suspicion.
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
Since mine own doors refuse to entertain me, I'll knock elsewhere, to see if they'll disdain me
William Shakespeare
What, no more ceremony? See, my women! Against the blown rose may they stop their nose That kneel'd unto the buds.
William Shakespeare
Speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee.
William Shakespeare
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. And let my liver rather heat with wine, than my heart cool with mortifying groans.
William Shakespeare
Out, damned spot! out, I say! One: two: why, then 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky!
William Shakespeare
We should hold day with the Antipodes, If you would walk in absence of the sun.
William Shakespeare
Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have, Not knowing them until we know their grave.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman.
William Shakespeare
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables.
William Shakespeare
In such business Action is eloquence, and the eyes of th’ ignorant More learned than the ears.
William Shakespeare
