More quotes by William Shakespeare
You are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in your face.
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Night's candles have burned out, and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountaintops. Hope tinged with melancholy - like life.
William Shakespeare
He that is robbed, not wanting what is stolen, him not know t, and he's not robbed at all.
William Shakespeare
I am not in the roll of common men.
William Shakespeare
Let us our lives, our souls, Our debts, our careful wives, Our children, and our sins, lay on the King!
