More quotes by William Shakespeare
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short youth is nimble, age is lame Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and age is tame.
William Shakespeare
CLEOPATRA: If it be love indeed, tell me how much. ANTONY: There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned. CLEOPATRA: I'll set a bourne how far to be belov'd. ANTONY: Then must thou needs find out new heaven, new earth.
William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov'd, I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
William Shakespeare
You shall more command with years than with your weapons.
William Shakespeare
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
William Shakespeare
Let me confess that we two must be twain, although our undivided loves are one.
William Shakespeare
I have heard of your paintings too, well enough God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
William Shakespeare
Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.
William Shakespeare
Now I will believe that there are unicorns.
William Shakespeare
O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple.
William Shakespeare
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
William Shakespeare
You peasant swain! You whoreson malt-horse drudge!
William Shakespeare
Let me say amen betimes lest the devil cross my prayer, for here he comes in the likeness of a Jew.
William Shakespeare
It is war's prize to take all vantages And ten to one is no impeach of valor.
William Shakespeare
Angels and ministers of grace defend us.
William Shakespeare
Winding up days with toil and nights with sleep.
William Shakespeare
Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow'st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here's three on's are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.
William Shakespeare
Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes fathers that children with their judgment looked and either may be wrong.
William Shakespeare
Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!
William Shakespeare
But love that comes too late, Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried, To the great sender turns a sour offense, Crying, 'That's good that's gone.
William Shakespeare
