More quotes by William Shakespeare
When daffodils begin to peer, With heigh! the doxy, over the dale, Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale. The white sheet bleaching on the hedge, With heigh! the sweet birds, O, how they sing! Doth set my pugging tooth on edge For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.
William Shakespeare
All the world is a stage and we are merely players.
William Shakespeare
Words to deeds cold breath gives.
William Shakespeare
Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.(attributed to)
William Shakespeare
Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.
William Shakespeare
With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered And a petition granted them, a strange one, To break the heart of generosity, And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon, Shouting their emulation.
William Shakespeare
Women may fail when there is no strength in man
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
For this relief much thanks. 'Tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.
William Shakespeare
And I will make it felony to drink small beer.
William Shakespeare
Temptation: the fiend at my elbow.
William Shakespeare
Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy: This wide and universal theatre Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Wherein we play in.
William Shakespeare
One man in his time plays many parts.
William Shakespeare
However wickedness outstrips men, it has no wings to fly from God.
William Shakespeare
Verily, I swear, it is better to be lowly born, and range with humble livers in content, than to be perked up in a glistering grief, and wear a golden sorrow.
William Shakespeare
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. Lady, as you are mine, I am yours: I give away myself for you and dote upon the exchange.
William Shakespeare
A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
And simple truth miscalled simplicity
William Shakespeare
They have been grand-jurymen since before Noah was a sailor
