More quotes by William Shakespeare
How easy it is for the proper-false in woman's waxen hearts to set their forms!
William Shakespeare
Be advised Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself: we may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Know you not, The fire that mounts the liquor til run o'er, In seeming to augment it wastes it?
William Shakespeare
My rage is gone, And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers I'll be one. Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully, Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, Which to this hour bewail the injury, Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended if this suit be won. That you express content which we will pay, With strife to please you, day exceeding day.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
So curses all Eve's daughters of what complexion soever.
William Shakespeare
Thou call'st me dog before thou hadst a cause, But since I am a dog, beware my fangs.
William Shakespeare
Equality of two domestic powers Breeds scrupulous faction.
William Shakespeare
Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare
Love is a wonderful, terrible thing
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.
William Shakespeare
They met so near with their lips that their breaths embraced together.
William Shakespeare
Oh what fools we mortals are.
William Shakespeare
Patch up thine old body for heaven.
William Shakespeare
Nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will.
William Shakespeare
