More quotes by William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
William Shakespeare
O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the Devil!
William Shakespeare
Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it.
William Shakespeare
When rich villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will
William Shakespeare
The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet.
William Shakespeare
What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?
William Shakespeare
The fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being governed, as the sea is, by the moon.
William Shakespeare
I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.
William Shakespeare
Let me have men about me that are fat... Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
William Shakespeare
This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
Soft pity enters an iron gate.
William Shakespeare
All men's faces are true, whatsome'er their hands are.
William Shakespeare
Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
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
The time of universal peace is near. Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked world Shall bear the olive freely.
William Shakespeare
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words. Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord? Hamlet: Between who? Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
William Shakespeare
So many hours must I take my rest So many hours must I contemplate.
William Shakespeare
