More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
Free from gross passion or of mirth of anger constant spirit, not swerving with the blood, garnish'd and deck'd in modest compliment, not working with the eye without the ear, and but in purged judgement trusting neither? Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem.
William Shakespeare
Image
And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, Even so by love the young and tender wit Is turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud, Losing his verdure even in the prime, And all the fair effects of future hopes.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am a feather for each wind that blows
William Shakespeare
Image
Alas, sir, how fell you besides your five wits? Malvolio: Fool, there was never a man so notoriously abused. I am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art. Feste: But as well? Then you are mad indeed, if you be no better in you wits than a fool.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
This day's black fate on more days doth depend This but begins the woe, others must end.
William Shakespeare
Image
I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so.
William Shakespeare
Image
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
Image
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
Image
Allow not nature more than nature needs.
William Shakespeare
Image
...Vaulted with such ease into his seat, As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds, To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
William Shakespeare
Image
it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance
William Shakespeare
Image
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.
William Shakespeare
Image
So doth the greater glory dim the less: A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will be master of what is mine own: She is my goods, my chattels she is my house, My household stuff, my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing.
William Shakespeare
Image
We few. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today That sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother.
William Shakespeare
Image
He that is thy friend indeed, He will help thee in thy need: If thou sorrow, he will weep If thou wake, he cannot sleep: Thus of every grief in heart He with thee does bear a part. These are certain signs to know Faithful friend from flattering foe.
