More quotes by William Shakespeare
The will of man is by his reason sway'd.
William Shakespeare
By how much unexpected, by so much We must awake endeavour for defence For courage mounteth with occasion.
William Shakespeare
Words pay no debts, give her deeds.
William Shakespeare
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triump die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume
William Shakespeare
To die, to sleep - To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub, For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
So our virtues lie in the interpretation of the time
William Shakespeare
What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
William Shakespeare
If the skin were parchment and the blows you gave were ink, Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.
William Shakespeare
Nothing can seem foul to those who win.
William Shakespeare
Ever note, Lucilius, When love begins to sicken and decay It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial.
William Shakespeare
O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, 1710. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
William Shakespeare
Dissembling courtesy! How fine this tyrant can trickle when she wounds!
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Fair, kind, and true is all my argument, Fair, kind, and true varying to other words And in this change is my invention spent, Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
William Shakespeare
I had rather live with cheese and garlic in a windmill.
William Shakespeare
No reckoning made, but sent to my account with all my imperfections on my head.
William Shakespeare
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
Love hath made thee a tame snake
William Shakespeare
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear.
William Shakespeare
Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.
William Shakespeare
