More quotes by William Shakespeare
If I were a woman I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me, complexions that liked me and breaths that I defied not
William Shakespeare
What my tongue dares not that my heart shall say
William Shakespeare
Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love, Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together Affliction alters.
William Shakespeare
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?
William Shakespeare
O good old man, how well in thee appears The constant service of the antique world, When service sweat for duty, not for meed! Thou art not for the fashion of these times, Where none will sweat but for promotion, And having that do choke their service up Even with the having. . . .
William Shakespeare
Beauty within itself should not be wasted.
William Shakespeare
I would there were no age between sixteen and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
I pray thee cease thy counsel, Which falls into mine ears as profitless as water in a sieve.
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
I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
William Shakespeare
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf.
William Shakespeare
You had measured how long a fool you were upon the ground.
William Shakespeare
Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight. Mercutio: And so did I. Romeo: Well, what was yours? Mercutio: That dreamers often lie. Romeo: In bed asleep while they do dream things true.
William Shakespeare
To persist in doing wrong extenuates not the wrong, but makes it much more heavy.
William Shakespeare
Time travels at different speeds for different people. I can tell you who time strolls for, who it trots for, who it gallops for, and who it stops cold for.
William Shakespeare
Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.
William Shakespeare
Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
They that stand high have many blasts to shake them.
William Shakespeare
