I am a man more sinned against than sinning
William Shakespeare
Sweets grown common lose their dear delight.
William Shakespeare
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
William Shakespeare
Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.
William Shakespeare
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.
William Shakespeare
Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth.
William Shakespeare
It is a basilisk unto mine eye, Kills me to look on't.
William Shakespeare
O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Against the wreckful siege of battering days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.
William Shakespeare
Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth.
William Shakespeare
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare
Since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it and therefore never floutat me for what I have said against it for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times a brave man dies but once.
William Shakespeare
She lov'd me for the dangers I had pass'd, And I lov'd her that she did pity them
William Shakespeare
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare
Let's teach ourselves that honorable stop, Not to outsport discretion.
William Shakespeare
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sell eternity to get a toy? For one grape who will the vine destroy?
William Shakespeare
