More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Death, as the Psalmist saith, is certain to all, all shall die.
William Shakespeare
For some must watch, while some must sleep So runs the world away
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
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.
William Shakespeare
Shorten my days thou canst with sullen sorrow, And pluck nights from me, but not lend a morrow Thou canst help time to furrow me with age, But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage.
William Shakespeare
