More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs, Losing both beauty and utility.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust? And, live we how we can, yet die we must.
William Shakespeare
Image
The gallantry of his grief did put me into a towering passion.
William Shakespeare
Image
He's all my exercise, my mirth, my matter.
William Shakespeare
Image
Time and the hour run through the roughest day.

Now, neighbor confines, purge you of your scum! Have you a ruffian that will swear, drink, dance, revel the night, rob, murder, and commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways?

The last taste of sweets is sweetest last.
William Shakespeare
Image
But there is no such man for, brother, men Can counsel and speak comfort to that grief Which they themselves not feel but, tasting it, Their counsel turns to passion, which before Would give preceptial medicine to rage, Fetter strong madness in a silken thread, Charm ache with air and agony with words.
William Shakespeare
Image
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let's all cry peace, freedom, and liberty!
William Shakespeare

O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note, to drown me in thy sister’s flood of tears.
William Shakespeare
Image
When Fortune means to men most good, She looks upon them with a threatening eye.
William Shakespeare
Image
By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place In my heart's love hath no man than yourself. Nay, task me to my word approve me, lord.
William Shakespeare
Image
I say there is no darkness but ignorance.
William Shakespeare
Image
If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends, You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse, That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war: since that to both It stands in like request?
William Shakespeare
Image
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
William Shakespeare
Image
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears: But yet It is our trick nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will: when these are gone, The woman will be out. — Adieu, my lord! I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze, But that this folly drowns it.
William Shakespeare
Image
But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.
William Shakespeare
Image
O call not me to justify the wrong, That thy unkindness lays upon my heart, Wound me not with thine eye but with thy tongue, Use power with power, and slay me not by art.
William Shakespeare
