Can it be That modesty may more betray our sense Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough, Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary And pitch our evils there?

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Two may keep counsel putting one away!
William Shakespeare
I shall despair. There is no creature loves me And if I die no soul will pity me: And wherefore should they, since that I myself Find in myself no pity to myself?
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.
William Shakespeare
His steeds to water at those springs On chaliced flowers that lies And winking Mary-buds begin To ope their golden eyes: With every thing that pretty is, My lady sweet, arise.
William Shakespeare
The instruments of darkness tell us truths.
William Shakespeare
Tis no sin for a man to labor in his vocation.
William Shakespeare
Of all knowledge the wise and good seek most to know themselves.
William Shakespeare
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
When he is best, he is a little worse than a man and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
William Shakespeare
O hell! to choose love with another's eye.
William Shakespeare
The heart hath treble wrong When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue.
William Shakespeare
I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion, and I will right myself like a soldier.
William Shakespeare
O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, 1710. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
William Shakespeare
By how much unexpected, by so much We must awake endeavour for defence For courage mounteth with occasion.
William Shakespeare
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
William Shakespeare
For the success, Although particular, shall give a scantling Of good or bad unto the general And in such indexes, although small pricks To their subsequent volumes, there is seen The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come at large.
William Shakespeare
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
Put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh few are angels.
William Shakespeare
