More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.
William Shakespeare
That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once: how the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were Cain's jaw-bone, that did the first murder! It might be the pate of a politician, which this ass now o'er-reaches one that would circumvent God, might it not?
William Shakespeare
In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
William Shakespeare
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
The readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
So sweet was ne'er so fatal. I must weep. But they are creul tears. This sorrow's heavenly it strikes where it doth love.
William Shakespeare
Patience is sottish, and impatience does become a dog that's mad.
William Shakespeare
Your worm is your only emperor for diet we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots.
William Shakespeare
Nothing comes from doing nothing.
William Shakespeare
The instances that second marriage move Are base respects of thrift, but none of love.
William Shakespeare
Wolves and bears, they say, casting their savagery aside, have done like offices of pity.
William Shakespeare
O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul that, struggling to be free, art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
William Shakespeare
You are a tedious fool.
William Shakespeare
We go to gain a little patch of ground that hath in it no profit but the name.
William Shakespeare
First Witch He knows thy thought: Hear his speech, but say thou nought.
William Shakespeare
A heavy heart bears not a nimble tongue.
William Shakespeare
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply, reply. It is engend'red in the eyes, With gazing fed, and fancy dies In the cradle where it lies.
William Shakespeare
Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.
William Shakespeare
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
