More quotes by William Shakespeare
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
William Shakespeare
Death lies on her like an untimely frost.
William Shakespeare
Against ill chances men are ever merry, But heaviness foreruns the good event.
William Shakespeare
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
William Shakespeare
Who seeks, and will not take, when once 'tis offer'd, Shall never find it more.
William Shakespeare
Or are you like the painting of a sorrow, a face without a heart?
William Shakespeare
Love is merely a madness and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do and the reason why they are not so punish'd and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
Speak comfortable words.
William Shakespeare
Adieu, adieu, adieu! remember me.
William Shakespeare
Tis not the many oaths that make the truth But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.
William Shakespeare
The arms are fair, When the intent of bearing them is just.
William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
I see men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes and things outward Do draw the inward quality after them, To suffer all alike.
William Shakespeare
No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.
William Shakespeare
So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.
William Shakespeare
Your hearts are mighty, your skins are whole.
William Shakespeare
Be merry you have cause, so have we all, of joy for our escape is much beyond our loss . . . . then wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.
William Shakespeare
Nimble thought can jump both sea and land.
William Shakespeare
