More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now, neighbor confines, purge you of your scum! Have you a ruffian that will swear, drink, dance, revel the night, rob, murder, and commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways?
William Shakespeare
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear.
William Shakespeare
Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
William Shakespeare
Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Oh God! that one might read the book of fate, And see the revolution of the times Make mountains level, and the continent, Weary of solid firmness, melt itself Into the sea.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.
William Shakespeare
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
This is the short and the long of it.
William Shakespeare
The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, is often left unloved.
