More quotes by William Shakespeare
Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
William Shakespeare
Scorn, at first, makes after-love the more.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Hope is a lover's staff walk hence with that And manage it against despairing thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
William Shakespeare
There's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year.
William Shakespeare
Oh! that you could turn your eyes towards the napes of your necks, and make but an interior survey of your good selves.
William Shakespeare
By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place In my heart's love hath no man than yourself. Nay, task me to my word approve me, lord.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
There is no sure foundation set on blood, No certain life achieved by others' death.
William Shakespeare
