More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Hang him, swaggering rascal!

William Shakespeare
Love laughs at locksmiths.
William Shakespeare
I praise God for you, sir: your reasons at dinner have been sharp and sententious pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, audacious without impudency, learned without opinion, and strange with-out heresy.
William Shakespeare
I would that I were low laid in my grave. I am not worth this coil that's made for me.
William Shakespeare
Nature does require her times of preservation.
William Shakespeare
Many a man's tongue shakes out his master's undoing.
William Shakespeare
As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, at turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant, as earth to centre.
William Shakespeare
Men's vows are women's traitors
William Shakespeare
Grief hath two tongues and never woman yet Could rule them both without ten women's wit.
William Shakespeare
I will be correspondent to command, And do my spiriting gently.
William Shakespeare
Time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop.
William Shakespeare
We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good so find we profit By losing of our prayers.
William Shakespeare
