More quotes by William Shakespeare
Such an act That blurs the grace and blush of modesty Calls virtue hypocrite takes off the rose From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there makes marriage vows As false as dicers' oaths.
William Shakespeare
Pardon, gentles all, the flat unraised spirits that have dared on this unworthy scaffold to bring forth so great an object.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
What: is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?
William Shakespeare
Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live regist'red upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, Th' endeavor of this present breath may buy That honor which shall bate his scythe's keen edge And make us heirs of all eternity.
William Shakespeare
But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament.
William Shakespeare
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
Give obedience where 'tis truly owed.
William Shakespeare
A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
William Shakespeare
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.
William Shakespeare
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air the earth sings when he touches it the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
William Shakespeare
God shall be my hope, my stay, my guide and lantern to my feet.
William Shakespeare
Where souls do couch on flowers we'll hand in hand.
William Shakespeare
Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
William Shakespeare
Why, thou owest god a death.
William Shakespeare
It is the very error of the moon She comes more nearer earth than she was wont, And makes men mad.
William Shakespeare
I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world were now undone.
William Shakespeare
Time is like a fashionable host That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, And with his arm outstretch'd, as he would fly, Grasps in the comer.
William Shakespeare
Love sees with the heart and not with mind.
William Shakespeare
