More quotes by William Shakespeare
Why should we rise because 'tis light? Did we lie down because t'was night?
William Shakespeare
Oh, God! I have an ill-divining soul!
William Shakespeare
By my soul I swear, there is no power in the tongue of man to alter me.
William Shakespeare
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
...Vaulted with such ease into his seat, As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds, To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
William Shakespeare
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
So may the outward shows be least themselves The world is still deceived with ornament.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
The amity that wisdom knits not, folly may easily untie.
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity. O that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!
William Shakespeare
The happiest youth, viewing his progress through, What perils past, what crosses to ensue, Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.
William Shakespeare
The undeserver may sleep when the man of action is called on.
William Shakespeare
The cheek Is apter than the tongue to tell an errand.
William Shakespeare
One good deed dying tongueless Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. Our praises are our wages.
William Shakespeare
