More quotes by 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

William Shakespeare
It is war's prize to take all vantages And ten to one is no impeach of valor.
William Shakespeare
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out
William Shakespeare
I am not merry, but I do beguile the thing I am by seeming otherwise.
William Shakespeare
Tis a cruelty to load a fallen man.
William Shakespeare
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
O, reason not the need!
William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come.
William Shakespeare
