More quotes by William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
They told me I was everything. 'Tis a lie, I am not ague-proof.

He hath not eat paper, as it were he hath not drunk ink his intellect is not replenished he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts. (Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost, IV)
William Shakespeare
All men's faces are true, whatsome'er their hands are.

William Shakespeare
Pain pays the income of each precious thing.
William Shakespeare
Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending.
William Shakespeare
The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.
William Shakespeare
This cold night will turn us all to fools and madmen.
William Shakespeare
Because it is a customary cross, As die to love as thoughts, and dreams, and sighs, Wishes, and tears, poor fancy's followers.
William Shakespeare
A flock of blessings light upon thy back
William Shakespeare
