Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep-searched with saucy looks: Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority from others' books.

More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility.
William Shakespeare
Image
How wayward is this foolish love that, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse and presently, all humble, kiss the rod.
William Shakespeare
Image
A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.
William Shakespeare
Image
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
If the skin were parchment and the blows you gave were ink, Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.
William Shakespeare
Image
Lay aside life-harming heaviness, And entertain a cheerful disposition.
William Shakespeare
Image
He says, he loves my daughter I think so too for never gaz'd the moon Upon the water, as he'll stand and read, As 'twere, my daughter's eyes: and, to be plain, I think, there is not half a kiss to choose, Who loves another best.
William Shakespeare
Image
Then hate me when thou wilt, if ever, now.
William Shakespeare
Image
I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.
William Shakespeare
Image
Time travels in divers paces with divers persons. I'll tell you who Time ambles withal, who Time trots withal, who Time gallops withal, and who he stands still withal.
William Shakespeare
Image
Rumour doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the feared.
William Shakespeare
Image
Well could he ride, and often men would say, That horse his mettle from his rider takes: Proud of subjection, noble by the sway, What rounds, what bounds, what course, what stop he makes! And controversy hence a question takes, Whether the horse by him became his deed, Or he his manage by the well-doing steed.
William Shakespeare
Image
This rough magic I here abjure and when I have required some heavenly music, which even now I do, to work mine end upon their senses that this airy charm is for, I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book.
William Shakespeare
Image
I doubt not then but innocence shall makeFalse accusation blush, and tyrannyTremble at patience.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is to be all made of fantasy, All made of passion and all made of wishes, All adoration, duty, and observance, All humbleness, all patience and impatience, All purity, all trial, all observance
William Shakespeare
Image
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Image
Like one who draws the model of a house beyond his power to build it who, half through, gives o'er, and leaves his part-created cost a naked subject to the weeping clouds.
William Shakespeare
Image
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, From earth to heaven.
William Shakespeare
Image
My heart laments that virtue cannot live Out of the teeth of emulation.
William Shakespeare
