Better be with the dead, Whom we to gain our peace, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In restless ecstasy.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England.
William Shakespeare
Those that do teach young babes Do it with gentle means and easy tasks.
William Shakespeare
Love laughs at locksmiths.
William Shakespeare
Through tattered clothes great vices do appear Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it.
William Shakespeare
Our wills and fates do so contrary run.
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
They love least that let men know their loves.
William Shakespeare
Virtue's office never breaks men's troth.
William Shakespeare
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Let fancy still in my sense in Lethe steep If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!
William Shakespeare
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
William Shakespeare
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.
William Shakespeare
He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause.
William Shakespeare
A very little little let us do And all is done.
William Shakespeare
Give it an understanding, but no tongue.
William Shakespeare
Is she kind as she is fair?
William Shakespeare
You have lost no reputation at all, unless you repute yourself such a loser.
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, When not to be, receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed, Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing.
William Shakespeare
I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
William Shakespeare
I am falser than vows made in wine.
William Shakespeare
