More quotes by William Shakespeare
Stars hide your fires let not light see my black and deep desires: The eyes wink at the hand yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see
William Shakespeare
Tremble, thou wretch, That hast within thee undivulged crimes Unwhipped of justice.
William Shakespeare
Were it good To set the exact wealth of all our states All at one cast? to set so rich a main On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour? It were not good.
William Shakespeare
[Marriage is] a world-without-end bargain.
William Shakespeare
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul, That not your trespass but my madness speaks.
William Shakespeare
Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.
William Shakespeare
Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown, Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.
William Shakespeare
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
William Shakespeare
I love you more than word can wield the matter, Dearer than eye-sight, space and liberty
William Shakespeare
But whate'er I am, nor I nor any man that but man is, With nothing shall be pleased 'til he be eased With being nothing.
William Shakespeare
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
William Shakespeare
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends.
William Shakespeare
Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth.
William Shakespeare
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, / That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
William Shakespeare
All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to a wise man ports and happy havens. Teach thy necessity to reason thus There is no virtue like necessity.
William Shakespeare
A heavier task could not have been impos'd, Than I to speak my griefs unspeakable.
William Shakespeare
Be stirring as the time be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
Tis often seen Adoption strives with nature and choice breeds A native slip to us from foreign lands.
William Shakespeare
But say, my lord, it were not regist'red, Methinks the truth should live from age to age, As 'twere retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day.
William Shakespeare
