More quotes by William Shakespeare
We are time's subjects, and time bids be gone.
William Shakespeare
You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air, I banish you And here remain with your uncertainty!
William Shakespeare
Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
William Shakespeare
Look how the world's poor people are amazed at apparitions, signs and prodigies!
William Shakespeare
How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
William Shakespeare
Love's stories written in love's richest books. To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.
William Shakespeare
See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.
William Shakespeare
A hundred thousand welcomes: I could weep, And I could laugh I am light and heavy: Welcome.
William Shakespeare
All furnished, all in arms All plum'd like estridges that with the wind Bated like eagles having lately bathed Glittering in golden coats like images As full of spirit as the month of May And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
William Shakespeare
I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny, who sways, not as it hath power, but as it is suffered.
William Shakespeare
And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire, The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmasks her beauty to the moon.
William Shakespeare
See where she comes apparelled like the spring.
William Shakespeare
Greatness, once fallen out with fortune, must fall out with men too.
William Shakespeare
Discuss unto me: art thou officer, Or art thou base, common, and popular?
William Shakespeare
Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven.
William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come.
William Shakespeare
So well thy words become thee as thy wounds.
William Shakespeare
If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils, and men with flatterers
William Shakespeare
I am as true as truth's simplicity, And simpler than the infancy of truth.
William Shakespeare
Slander lives upon succession, For ever housed where it gets possession.
William Shakespeare
