More quotes by William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just.
William Shakespeare
in that small [time] most greatly lived this star of England: Fortune made his sword, By which the world's best garden he achiev'd And left it to his son imperial lord. Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crown'd King of France and England did this King succeed Whose state so many of had the managing, That they lost France and made his England bleed.
William Shakespeare
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.
William Shakespeare
Finish, good lady the bright day is done, And we are for the Dark.
William Shakespeare
What, all so soon asleep! I wish mine eyes Would, with themselves, shut up my thoughts.
William Shakespeare
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings.
William Shakespeare
Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do.
William Shakespeare
My cousin's a fool, and thou art another.
William Shakespeare
The apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun it shines everywhere.
William Shakespeare
And simple truth miscalled simplicity
William Shakespeare
He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.
William Shakespeare
He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument.
William Shakespeare
Death rock me asleep.
William Shakespeare
Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
William Shakespeare
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
Ay, but to die and go we know not where To lie in cold obstrution and to rot This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
William Shakespeare
Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly swear not commit not with man's sworn spouse set not thy sweet heart on proud array. * * * Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books.
William Shakespeare
