When Caesar says, 'Do this', it is performed.
William Shakespeare
Heaven take my soul, and England keep my bones!
William Shakespeare
Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ready with every nod to tumble down Into the fatal bowels of the deep.
William Shakespeare
If I shall be condemned Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else But what your jealousies awake, I tell you 'Tis rigor and not law.
William Shakespeare
Of one that lov'd not wisely but too well.
William Shakespeare
Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
William Shakespeare
Miracles are ceased and therefore we must needs admit the means, how things are perfected.
William Shakespeare
If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Besides, they are our outward consciences, And preachers to us all, admonishing That we should drew us fairly for our end.
William Shakespeare
The icy precepts of respect.
William Shakespeare
Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile, Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?
William Shakespeare
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats If it be man's work, I'll do't.
William Shakespeare
Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scan The outward habit by the inward man.
William Shakespeare
For love, thou know'st, is full of jealousy
William Shakespeare
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.
William Shakespeare
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
William Shakespeare
Time is the king of men.
William Shakespeare
All that glisters is not gold Often have you heard that told.
William Shakespeare
Discharge my followers let them hence away, From Richard's night to Bolingbrooke's fair day.
William Shakespeare
