More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceased, The which observed, a man may prophesy, With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
William Shakespeare
Be wise as thou art cruel, do not press My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain: Lest sorrow lend me words and words express, The manner of my pity-wanting pain.
William Shakespeare
Travelers never did lie, though fools at home condemn them.
William Shakespeare
Thus did I keep my person fresh and new, My presence, like a robe pontifical, Ne'er seen but wondered at, and so my state, Seldom but sumptuous, showed like a feast.
William Shakespeare
Tis in my memory lock'd, And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
William Shakespeare
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
William Shakespeare
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
William Shakespeare
The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season.
William Shakespeare
Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
William Shakespeare
He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
William Shakespeare
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't.
William Shakespeare
thus with a kiss I die
William Shakespeare
Oh, injurious love, that respites me a life, whose very comfort is still a dying horror
William Shakespeare
