More quotes by William Shakespeare
The fringed curtains of thine eye advance, And say what thou seest yond.
William Shakespeare
So, you are very welcome to our house. It must appear in other ways than words, Therefore, I scant this breathing courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Virtue preserv'd from fell destruction's blast, Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.
William Shakespeare
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.
William Shakespeare
I would with such perfection govern, sir, T'excel the golden age.
William Shakespeare
When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.
William Shakespeare
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
Be wary then best safety lies in fear.
William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
William Shakespeare
That god forbid, that made me first your slave, I should in thought control your times of pleasure, Or at your hand th' account of hours to crave, Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure.
William Shakespeare
Small things make base men proud.
William Shakespeare
I speak of peace, while covert enmity under the smile of safety wounds the world
William Shakespeare
I am that merry wanderer of the night.
William Shakespeare
Out of her favour, where I am in love.
William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
William Shakespeare
Can one desire too much of a good thing?
William Shakespeare
And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood in thee it is abused.
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight which therein works a miracle in Nature, making them lightest that wear most of it: so are those crisped snaky golden locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a second head, the skull that bred them in the sepulchre.
William Shakespeare
The patient must minister to himself
William Shakespeare
