More quotes by William Shakespeare
My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming I love not less, though less the show appear: That love is merchandised whose rich esteeming The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
William Shakespeare
If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other, And I will look on both indifferently For let the gods so speed me as I love The name of honor more than I fear death.
William Shakespeare
To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans coy looks, with heart-sore sighs one fading moment's mirth
William Shakespeare
Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I every man to his business.
William Shakespeare
Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, But they shall find awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind, Ability in means, and choice of friends, To quit me of them throughly.
William Shakespeare
You are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in your face.
William Shakespeare
For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
William Shakespeare
Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light
William Shakespeare
A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame.
William Shakespeare
My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Perjury, perjury, in the high'st degree Murder, stern murder in the dir'st degree, Throng to the bar, crying all, 'Guilty!, guilty!
William Shakespeare
Patch up thine old body for heaven.
William Shakespeare
The most peerless piece of earth, I think, that e' er the sun shone bright on.
William Shakespeare
Love thyself last, cherish those hearts that hate thee Corruption wins not more than honesty.
William Shakespeare
To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans, Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain If lost, why then a grievous labour won However, but a folly bought with wit, Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
William Shakespeare
Summer's lease hath all too short a date.
William Shakespeare
The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.
William Shakespeare
Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
William Shakespeare
Ingrateful man with liquorish draughts, and morsels unctuous, greases his pure mind that from it all consideration slips.
William Shakespeare
He is well paid that is well satisfied.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
William Shakespeare
