More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
Were kisses all the joys in bed, One woman would another wed.
William Shakespeare
Image
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
Image
When our actions do not, our fears make us traitors.
William Shakespeare
Image
There are occasions and causes, why and wherefore in all things.
William Shakespeare
Image
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
Image
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though she be but little, she is fierce!
William Shakespeare
Image
Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honor for an inward toil And, for unfelt imaginations, They often feel a world of restless cares.
William Shakespeare
Image
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
William Shakespeare
Image
We are oft to blame in this, - 'tis too much proved, - that with devotion's visage, and pios action we do sugar o'er the devil himself.
William Shakespeare
Image
The Foole doth thinke he is wise, but the wiseman knowes himselfe to be a Foole.
William Shakespeare
Image
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
Image
And Caesar shall go forth.
William Shakespeare
Image
I'll say she looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew.
William Shakespeare
Image
Making night hideous.
William Shakespeare
Image
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our own virtues.
William Shakespeare
Image
Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
Image
Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away.
William Shakespeare
Image
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified.
William Shakespeare
