More quotes by William Shakespeare
How soar sweet music is, when time is broke, and no proportion kept!
William Shakespeare
So all my best is dressing old words new.
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
I'll speak in a monstrous little voice.
William Shakespeare
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
He is winding the watch of his wit by and by it will strike.
William Shakespeare
I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away.
William Shakespeare
A Devil, a born Devil on whose nature, nurture can never stick, on whom my pain, humanly taken, all lost, quite lost.
William Shakespeare
As for my wife, I would you had her spirit in such another The third o' th' world is yours, which with a snaffle You may pace easy, but not such a wife.
William Shakespeare
Frailty, thy name is woman!
William Shakespeare
I am the Prince of Wales and think not, Percy, To share with me in glory any more: Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.
William Shakespeare
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day, As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by-and-by black night doth take away.
William Shakespeare
More can I bear than you dare execute.
William Shakespeare
Sweet flowers are slow and weeds make haste.
William Shakespeare
Happy thou art not for what thou hast not, still thou strivest to get and what thou hast, forgettest.
William Shakespeare
Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.
William Shakespeare
My only love sprung from my only hate.
William Shakespeare
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
O villains, vipers, dogs, easily won to fawn on any man!
William Shakespeare
Tempt not a desperate man
