I'll privily away I love the people, But do not like to stage me to their eyes Though it do well, I do not relish well Their loud applause and aves vehement, Nor do I think the man of safe discretion That does not affect it.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!
William Shakespeare
Eternity was in our lips and eyes.
William Shakespeare
I wonder that you will still be talking. Nobody marks you.
William Shakespeare
I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride, Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause But rather reason thus with reason fetter, Love sought is good, but given unsought better.
William Shakespeare
Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers they hold up Adam's profession.
William Shakespeare
Words spoken can not be recalled so think twice before you speak.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
In maiden meditation, fancy free.
William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
William Shakespeare
All the world is a stage and we are merely players.
William Shakespeare
Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
William Shakespeare
In nature's infinite book of secrecy A little I can read.
William Shakespeare
I do know of these That therefore only are reputed wise For saying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Faith, I have been a truant in the law And never yet could frame my will to it, And therefore frame the law unto my will.
William Shakespeare
Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
William Shakespeare
The devil shall have his bargain for he was never yet a breaker of proverbs--he will give the devil his due.
William Shakespeare
A lover goes toward his beloved as enthusiastically as a schoolboy leaving his books, but when he leaves his girlfriend, he feels as miserable as the schoolboy on his way to school. (Act 2, scene 2)
William Shakespeare
Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.
William Shakespeare
