More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
Image
Dead shepherd, now I find thy saw of might. Whoever lov'd that lov'd not at first sight.
William Shakespeare

Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench I love her ten times more than e'er I did: O, how I long to have some chat with her!
William Shakespeare

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep To sleep, perchance to dream—For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause, there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
Too nice, and yet too true!
William Shakespeare
Image
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
Image
The play's the thing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Comfort's in heaven, and we are on the earth
William Shakespeare
Image
The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
William Shakespeare
Image
I'll read enough When I do see the very book indeed Where all my sins are writ, and that's myself.
William Shakespeare
Image
Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: ‘tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil
William Shakespeare
Image
'By heaven, that thou art fair, is most infallible true, that thou art beauteous truth itself, that thou art lovely. More fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal.
