More quotes by William Shakespeare
The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.
William Shakespeare
Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.
William Shakespeare
For I am he am born to tame you, Kate and bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate conformable as other household Kates.
William Shakespeare
Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail, And say there is no sin but to be rich And being rich, my virtue then shall be To say there is no vice but beggary
William Shakespeare
Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
William Shakespeare
Assume a virtue if you have it not.
William Shakespeare
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
William Shakespeare
Nay, I am the very pink of courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Away, you cut-purse rascal! you filthy bung, away! By this wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play the saucy cuttle with me. Away, you bottle-ale rascal! you basket-hilt stale juggler, you!
William Shakespeare
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid!
William Shakespeare
I am sure, Though you can guess what temperance should be, You know not what it is.
William Shakespeare
I heard a bustling rumor like a fray, And the wind blows it from the Capitol.
William Shakespeare
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But bad mortality o'ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
William Shakespeare
Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania
William Shakespeare
Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.
William Shakespeare
All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.
William Shakespeare
O that men's ears should be To counsel deaf but not to flattery!
William Shakespeare
And to be merry best becomes you for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour. BEATRICE No, sure, my lord, my mother cried but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.
William Shakespeare
Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite, Encompassed with thy lustful paramours, Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age And twit with cowardice a man half dead?
William Shakespeare
And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.
William Shakespeare
