More quotes by William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament: They are but beggars that can count their worth But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth.
William Shakespeare
Taste your legs, sire: put them into motion.
William Shakespeare
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
William Shakespeare
Alack, the night comes on, and the bleak winds Do sorely ruffle for many miles about There's scarce a bush.
William Shakespeare
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
William Shakespeare
All that glisters is not gold Often have you heard that told: Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold: Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
William Shakespeare
And where the offense is, let the great axe fall.
William Shakespeare
O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!
William Shakespeare
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack, Save a proud rider on his back.
William Shakespeare
Love's best habit is a soothing tongue
William Shakespeare
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, but thankful even for hate that is meant love.
William Shakespeare
See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.
William Shakespeare
O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul that, struggling to be free, art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
William Shakespeare
So loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven, Visit her face' too roughly.
William Shakespeare
Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast...
William Shakespeare
Tongues I'll hang on every tree That shall civil sayings show. . . .
William Shakespeare
I'll have no husband, if you be not he.
William Shakespeare
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry! England and Saint George!
William Shakespeare
