More quotes by William Shakespeare
I will be brief. Your noble son is mad.
William Shakespeare
Well could he ride, and often men would say, That horse his mettle from his rider takes: Proud of subjection, noble by the sway, What rounds, what bounds, what course, what stop he makes! And controversy hence a question takes, Whether the horse by him became his deed, Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
William Shakespeare
The tongues of dying men enforce attention like deep harmony.
William Shakespeare
What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue if you have it not.
William Shakespeare
I beseech you, Wrest once the law to your authority: To do a great right, do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our tongues,Was once thought honest.
William Shakespeare
It was a lover and his lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o'er the green corn-field did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding Sweet lovers love the spring.
William Shakespeare
Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun.
William Shakespeare
True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north, And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence, Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.
William Shakespeare
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
William Shakespeare
I'll read enough When I do see the very book indeed Where all my sins are writ, and that's myself.
William Shakespeare
Look, the world's comforter, with weary gait, His day's hot task hath ended in the west: The owl, night's herald, shrieks-'tis very late The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest And coal-black clouds, that shadow heaven's light, Do summon us to part, and bid good night.
William Shakespeare
Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling.
William Shakespeare
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
William Shakespeare
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled. Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
William Shakespeare
For many men that stumble at the threshold are well foretold that danger lurks within.
William Shakespeare
Grief makes one hour ten.
William Shakespeare
Ornament is but the guiled shore to a most dangerous sea.
William Shakespeare
Our content Is our best having.
