Image
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou speak'st like him's untutored to repeat: Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.
William Shakespeare
Image
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
William Shakespeare
Image
Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
Image
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Image
If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will instruct my sorrows to be proud for grief is proud, and makes his owner stoop.
William Shakespeare
Image
O God of battles! steel my soldiers’ hearts. Possess them not with fear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I wonder that you will still be talking. Nobody marks you.
William Shakespeare
Image
Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? When at your hands did I deserve this scorn? Is't not enough, is't not enough, young man, That I did never, no, nor never can, Deserve a sweet look from Demetrius' eye, But you must flout my insufficiency?
William Shakespeare
Image
Cordelia! stay a little. Ha! What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft.
William Shakespeare
Image
Parting is such sweet sorrow
William Shakespeare
Image
Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
William Shakespeare
Image
Since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it and therefore never floutat me for what I have said against it for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
William Shakespeare
Image
For who so firm that cannot be seduced?
William Shakespeare
Image
Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me. Now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass so that by my foes, sir, I profit in the knowledge of myself, any by my friends I am abused so that, conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why then, the worse for my friends, and the better for my foes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Be bloody, bold, and resolute laugh to scorn the power of man.
William Shakespeare
Image
Take no repulse, whatever she doth say For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.' Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces
William Shakespeare
Image
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
William Shakespeare
