More quotes by William Shakespeare
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings.
William Shakespeare
As in a theatre, the eyes of men, after a well-graced actor leaves the stage, are idly bent on him that enters next.
William Shakespeare
Thou art a Castilian King urinal!
William Shakespeare
So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men.
William Shakespeare
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
William Shakespeare
My pride fell with my fortunes.
William Shakespeare
There is a law in each well-ordered nation To curb those raging appetites that are Most disobedient and refractory.
William Shakespeare
Anger's my meat. I sup upon myself, And so shall starve with feeding.
William Shakespeare
Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord, That would reduce these bloody days again And make poor England weep in streams of blood! Let them not live to taste this land's increase That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Now civil wounds are stopped, peace lives again: That she may long live here, God say amen!
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks
William Shakespeare
There's husbandry in heaven Their candles are all out.
William Shakespeare
The happiest youth, viewing his progress through, What perils past, what crosses to ensue, Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.
William Shakespeare
We will have rings and things and fine array
William Shakespeare
I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats If it be man's work, I'll do't.
William Shakespeare
When I was at home I was in a better place
William Shakespeare
Now the fair goddess, Fortune, Fall deep in love with thee, and her great charms Misguide thy opposers' swords!
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?
William Shakespeare
O no, thy love though much, is not so great, It is my love that keeps mine eye awake, Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, To play the watchman ever for thy sake. For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, From me far off, with others all too near.
William Shakespeare
One good deed dying tongueless Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. Our praises are our wages.
William Shakespeare
Titus Andronicus, my lord the Emperor Sends thee this word, that, if thou love thy sons, Let Marcus, Lucius, or thyself, old Titus, Or any one of you, chop off your hand And send it to the King: he for the same Will send thee hither both thy sons alive, And that shall be the ransom for their fault.
William Shakespeare
