But as the unthought-on accident is guilty To what we wildly do, so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies Of every wind that blows.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now the time is come, That France must veil her lofty-plumed crest, And let her head fall into England's lap.
William Shakespeare
I am wrapped in dismal thinking.
William Shakespeare
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe. And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot And thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare
You know That I do fawn on men, and hug them hard, And after scandal them.
William Shakespeare
Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.
William Shakespeare
Where is Polonius? HAMLET In heaven. Send hither to see. If your messenger find him not there, seek him i' th' other place yourself. But if indeed you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby.
William Shakespeare
If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her, she would infect to the north star!
William Shakespeare
The gaudy, blabbing, and remorseful day Is crept into the bosom of the sea.
William Shakespeare
O villains, vipers, dogs, easily won to fawn on any man!
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
ROSENCRANTZ My lord, you must tell us where the body is, and go with us to the king. HAMLET The body is with the king, but the king is not with the body. The king is a thing - GUILDENSTERN A thing my lord? HAMLET Of nothing. Bring me to him. Hide fox, and all after!
William Shakespeare
O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! - Cassio (Act II, Scene iii)
William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
Faith, I have been a truant in the law And never yet could frame my will to it, And therefore frame the law unto my will.
William Shakespeare
There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
William Shakespeare
The fittest time to corrupt a man's wife is when she's fallen out with her husband.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
William Shakespeare
A very scurvy fellow.
William Shakespeare
After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
William Shakespeare
