More quotes by William Shakespeare
An honest man, sir, is able to speak for himself, when a knave is not.
William Shakespeare
Now I am past all comforts here, but prayer.
William Shakespeare
Unless the old adage must be verified, That beggars mounted, run their horse to death.
William Shakespeare
It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him it sets him on and it takes him off.
William Shakespeare
I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood.
William Shakespeare
Wait for the season when to cast good counsels upon subsiding passion.
William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
O mischief, thou art swift to enter in the thoughts of desperate men!
William Shakespeare
O that a lady, of one man refused, Should of another therefore be abused!
William Shakespeare
Your if is the only peacemaker much virtue in if.
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman is the immediate jewel of their souls.
William Shakespeare
There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.
William Shakespeare
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
William Shakespeare
A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
So wise so young, they say, do never live long.
William Shakespeare
Fall Greeks fail fame honour or go or stay My major vow lies here, this I'll obey.
William Shakespeare
Murder most foul, as in the best it it But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
William Shakespeare
Officers, what offence have these men done? DOGBERRY Marry, sir, they have committed false report moreover, they have spoken untruths secondarily, they are slanders sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady thirdly, they have verified unjust things and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.
William Shakespeare
