More quotes by William Shakespeare
When law can do no right, Let it be lawful that law bar no wrong.
William Shakespeare
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare
Ah, what a sign it is of evil life, Where death's approach is seen so terrible!
William Shakespeare
Let me confess that we two must be twain, although our undivided loves are one.
William Shakespeare
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
William Shakespeare
See, what a ready tongue suspicion hath! He that but fears the thing he would not know, Hath, by instinct, knowledge from others' eyes, That what he feared is chanced.
William Shakespeare
Hope is a lover's staff walk hence with that And manage it against despairing thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Angels and ministers of grace defend us.
William Shakespeare
Sweet are the uses of adversity
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
Love is . . . a madness most discreet
William Shakespeare
We must not stint Our necessary actions in the fear To cope malicious censurers, which ever, As rav'nous fishes, do a vessel follow That is new-trimmed, but benefit no further Than vainly longing.
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
Are you sure/That we are awake? It seems to me/That yet we sleep, we dream
William Shakespeare
Blessings of your heart, you brew good ale.
William Shakespeare
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love.
William Shakespeare
For to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
William Shakespeare
Who would be so mocked with glory, or to live But in a dream of friendship, To have his pomp and all what state compounds But only painted, like his varnished friends?
William Shakespeare
