More quotes by William Shakespeare
O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head, Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?
William Shakespeare
Listen to many, speak to a few.
William Shakespeare
Let still woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart, For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner to be lost and warn, Than women's are.
William Shakespeare
What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven?
William Shakespeare
I heard a bustling rumor like a fray, And the wind blows it from the Capitol.
William Shakespeare
Death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!
William Shakespeare
This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, . . . This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land.
William Shakespeare
Besides, our nearness to the King in love Is near the hate of those love not the King.
William Shakespeare
The devil is a gentleman.
William Shakespeare
So loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven, Visit her face' too roughly.
William Shakespeare
There is some soul of goodness in things evil, Would men observingly distill it out.
William Shakespeare
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
William Shakespeare
If circumstances lead me, I will find Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed Within the centre.
William Shakespeare
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
William Shakespeare
I do oppose My patience to his fury, and am arm'd To suffer, with a quietness of spirit, The very tyranny and rage of his.
William Shakespeare
For what is wedlock forced but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife? Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss, And is a pattern of celestial peace.
William Shakespeare
Too nice, and yet too true!
William Shakespeare
And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire, The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmasks her beauty to the moon.
William Shakespeare
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
William Shakespeare
