More quotes by William Shakespeare
When I waked, I cried to dream again
William Shakespeare
Say, what abridgement have you for this evening? What masque, what music? How shall we beguile The lazy time if not with some delight?
William Shakespeare
And Caesar shall go forth.
William Shakespeare
Never he will not: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.
William Shakespeare
Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator.
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
Wish chastely, and love dearly.
William Shakespeare
Tempt not a desperate man
William Shakespeare
With these shreds They vented their complainings, which being answered And a petition granted them, a strange one, To break the heart of generosity, And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon, Shouting their emulation.
William Shakespeare
And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see, quoth he, how the world wags.
William Shakespeare
Ay, Much is the force of heaven-bred poesy.
William Shakespeare
The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, In forms imaginary, th' unguided days And rotten times that you shall look upon When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
William Shakespeare
Death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!
William Shakespeare
I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.
William Shakespeare
Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes fathers that children with their judgment looked and either may be wrong.
William Shakespeare
Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile Filths savour but themselves.
William Shakespeare
Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this for it will come to pass That every braggart will be found an ass.
William Shakespeare
Mine honor is my life, both grow in one. Take honor from me, and my life is done. Then, dear my liege, mine honor let me try In that I live, and for that I will die.
William Shakespeare
