More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
William Shakespeare
This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property ordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings.
William Shakespeare
Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself are much condemned to have an itching palm.
William Shakespeare
Divers philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the mouth.
William Shakespeare
When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.
William Shakespeare
