More quotes by William Shakespeare
Say, thou art mine and ever, My love, as it begins, shall so persevere
William Shakespeare

Some glory in their birth , some in their skill , Some in their wealth , some in their bodies' force , Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill Some in their hawks and hounds , some in their horse And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure , Wherein it finds a joy above the rest .
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
... And death unloads thee.
William Shakespeare
You are an alchemist make gold of that.
William Shakespeare
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
William Shakespeare
O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, 1710. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
William Shakespeare
My friends were poor, but honest, so's my love.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love.
William Shakespeare
If [God] send me no husband, for the which blessing I am at him upon my knees every morning and evening.
William Shakespeare
