More quotes by William Shakespeare
Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and smooth But that our soft conditions and our hearts Should well agree with our external parts?
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, That sees into the bottom of my grief?
William Shakespeare
Done to death by slanderous tongue
William Shakespeare
I love him for his sake And yet I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him That they take place when virtue's steely bones Looks bleak i' th' cold wind withal, full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
William Shakespeare
The mightier man, the mightier is the thing That makes him honored or begets him hate For greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare
Hot blood begets hot thoughts, And hot thoughts beget Hot deeds, And hot deeds is love.
William Shakespeare
Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.

William Shakespeare
If thou couldst, doctor, cast The water of my land, find her disease, And purge it to a sound and pristine health, I would applaud thee to the very echo, That should applaud you again.
William Shakespeare
A right judgment draws us a profit from all things we see .
William Shakespeare
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend?
William Shakespeare
Some there be that shadows kiss Such have but a shadow's bliss.
William Shakespeare
I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?
William Shakespeare
A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage and, as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r Lady, inclining to threescore and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff.
William Shakespeare
If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, 'This poet lies Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
William Shakespeare
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
William Shakespeare
Desperate times breed desperate measures
