More quotes by William Shakespeare
I will keep where there is wit stirring, and leave the faction of fools.
William Shakespeare
Olivia: What's a drunken man like, fool? Feste: Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool the second mads him and a third drowns him.
William Shakespeare
I had rather live with cheese and garlic in a windmill.
William Shakespeare
Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember wrongs?
William Shakespeare
We see which way the stream of time doth run.
William Shakespeare
Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion. I am sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
William Shakespeare
It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it.
William Shakespeare
The mind of guilt is full of scorpions.
William Shakespeare
Let him smell his way to Dover!
William Shakespeare
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
William Shakespeare
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears: But yet It is our trick nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will: when these are gone, The woman will be out. — Adieu, my lord! I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze, But that this folly drowns it.
William Shakespeare
Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
For to be wise and love exceeds man's might.
William Shakespeare
My thoughts are whirled like a potter's wheel I know not where I am nor what I do.
William Shakespeare
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
Be not afraid of greatness.
William Shakespeare
Exceeds man's might: that dwells with the gods above.
William Shakespeare
Let still woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart, For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner to be lost and warn, Than women's are.
William Shakespeare
Where shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly 's done, when the battle 's lost and won
William Shakespeare
Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
William Shakespeare
