More quotes by William Shakespeare
If by chance I talk a little wild, forgive me I had it from my father.
William Shakespeare
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
There should be hours for necessities, not for delights times to repair our nature with comforting repose, and not for us to waste these times.
William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?
William Shakespeare
Inconstancy falls off ere it begins.
William Shakespeare
Jesu, Jesu, the mad days that I have spent! And to see how many of my old acquaintance are dead!
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
But to my mind, though I am native here, And to the manner born, it is a custom, More honored in the breach than the observance.
William Shakespeare
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Give obedience where 'tis truly owed.
William Shakespeare
No particular scandal one can touch but it confounds the breather.
William Shakespeare
The gallantry of his grief did put me into a towering passion.
William Shakespeare
Go to you bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.
William Shakespeare
Farewell, good Salisbury, and good luck go with thee!
William Shakespeare
More fools know Jack Fool than Jack Fool knows.
William Shakespeare
O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
William Shakespeare
And ruin`d love when it is built anew, grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater
William Shakespeare
The morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness.
William Shakespeare
