More quotes by William Shakespeare
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
William Shakespeare
All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.
William Shakespeare
I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
William Shakespeare
All things that are, are with more spirit chased than enjoyed.
William Shakespeare
We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself
William Shakespeare
Too much to know is to know naught but fame.
William Shakespeare
Nature hath meal and bran, contempt and grace.
William Shakespeare
Away, you mouldy rogue, away!
William Shakespeare
Go, write it in a martial hand be curst and brief it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and fun of invention: taunt him with the licence of ink: if thou thou'st him some thrice, it shall not be amiss and as many lies as will lie in thy shee.
William Shakespeare
Golden lads and girls all must as chimney sweepers come to dust.
William Shakespeare
And too soon Marred are those so early Made.
William Shakespeare
That which is now a horse, even with a thought The rack dislimms, and makes it indistinct As water is in water
William Shakespeare
For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
William Shakespeare
Write till your ink be dry, and with your tears Moist it again, and frame some feeling line That may discover such integrity.
William Shakespeare
A noble shalt thou have, and present pay And liquor likewise will I give to thee, And friendship shall combine, and brotherhood.
William Shakespeare
They say, the tongues of dying men Enforce attention, like deep harmony Where words are scarce, they're seldom spent in vain For they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain.
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
Rich honesty dwells like a miser, Sir, in a poor house as your pearl in your foul oyster.
William Shakespeare
