More quotes by William Shakespeare
Full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
William Shakespeare
Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling.
William Shakespeare
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troops, and the big wars That make ambition virtue.
William Shakespeare
Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had liv'd a blessed time for, from this instant, There's nothing serious in mortality: All is but toys renown, and grace is dead The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of.
William Shakespeare
Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow. Come, mourn with me for what I do lament, And put sullen black incontinent. I'll make a voyage to the Holy Land To wash this blood off from my guilty hand. March sadly after. Grace my mournings here In weeping after this untimely bier.
William Shakespeare
The seeming truth which cunning times put on to entrap the wisest.

William Shakespeare
They say best men are molded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
This is the very coinage of your brain: this bodiless creation ecstasy.
William Shakespeare
Love and meekness, lord, Become a churchman better than ambition: Win straying souls with modesty again, Cast none away.
William Shakespeare
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.
William Shakespeare
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
William Shakespeare
We came into the world like brother and brother, And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
William Shakespeare
Out, damned spot! Out, I say!
William Shakespeare
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
