More quotes by William Shakespeare
How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
Tis safter to be that which we destroy Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.
William Shakespeare
Gloucester, we have done deeds of charity, made peace of enmity, fair love of hate, between these swelling wrong-incensed peers.
William Shakespeare
There was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently
William Shakespeare
As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods they kill us for their sport.
William Shakespeare
Mine eyes smell onions: I shall weep anon.

Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation, where each second Stood heir to th's first.

Tongues I'll hang on every tree That shall civil sayings show. . . .
William Shakespeare
O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
William Shakespeare
If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, Lions with toils, and men with flatterers
William Shakespeare
Glory grows guilty of detested crimes.
William Shakespeare
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale. Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to th' rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, While night's black agents to their prey do rouse.
William Shakespeare
God defend me from that Welsh fairy, Lest he transform me to a piece of cheese!
William Shakespeare
