More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me, Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain, Have put on black, and loving mourners be, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
William Shakespeare
You taught me language, and my profit on't / Is, I know how to curse
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
You are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in your face.
William Shakespeare
Suit the action to the word : the word to the action : with this special observance that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
I prithee gentle friend, Let thy fair wisdom, not thy passions, sway In this uncivil and unjust extent Against thy peace.
William Shakespeare
Base is the slave that pays.

William Shakespeare
Love is the greatest of dreams, yet the worst of nightmares.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.
William Shakespeare
What e'er you are That in this desert inaccessible, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Lose and neglect the creeping hours of time.
William Shakespeare
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
William Shakespeare
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men's blood: I only speak right on I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
William Shakespeare
Bassanio: Do all men kill all the things they do not love? Shylock: Hates any man the thing he would not kill? Bassanio: Every offence is not a hate at first.
William Shakespeare
Love's stories written in love's richest books. To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.
William Shakespeare
I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through the ashes of my chance.
William Shakespeare
