Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let each man do his best.
William Shakespeare
I'll make death love me for I will contend Even with his pestilent scythe.
William Shakespeare
You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life.
William Shakespeare
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
William Shakespeare
Adversity makes strange bedfellows.
William Shakespeare
Although the last, not least.
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.
William Shakespeare
Never, never, never, never, never! Pray you, undo this button.
William Shakespeare
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
William Shakespeare
As a decrepit father takes delight To see his active child do deeds of youth, So I, made lame by fortune's dearest spite, Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth.
William Shakespeare
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
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
William Shakespeare
Verily, I swear, it is better to be lowly born, and range with humble livers in content, than to be perked up in a glistering grief, and wear a golden sorrow.
William Shakespeare
If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.
William Shakespeare
Good words are better than bad strokes.
William Shakespeare
There is no creature loves me And if I die, no soul will pity me.
William Shakespeare
I am a kind of burr I shall stick.
William Shakespeare
Never anything can be amiss, when simpleness and duty tender it.
William Shakespeare
Tired with all these for restful death I cry, As to behold desert a beggar born, And needy nothing trimmed in jollity, And purest faith unhappily forsworn.
William Shakespeare
