More quotes by William Shakespeare
Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.
William Shakespeare
So now I have confessed that he is thine, And I my self am mortgaged to thy will, My self I'll forfeit, so that other mine, Thou wilt restore to be my comfort still.
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
William Shakespeare
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
William Shakespeare
The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through And keep their impious turbans on without Good morrow to the sun.
William Shakespeare
You Jig, you amble, and you lisp.
William Shakespeare
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
My lord, they say five moons were seen to-night-- Four fixed, and the fifth did whirl about The other four in wondrous motion.
William Shakespeare
I am ill at these numbers.
William Shakespeare
Quote: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
William Shakespeare
Some report a sea-maid spawn'd him some that he was begot between two stock-fishes. But it is certain that when he makes water his urine is congealed ice.
William Shakespeare
Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast! Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest.
William Shakespeare
I have a kind soul that would give you thanks. And knows not how to do it but with tears.
William Shakespeare
We see which way the stream of time doth run.
William Shakespeare
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
William Shakespeare
To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast!
William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
