More quotes by William Shakespeare
Open thy gate of mercy, gracious God, My soul flies through these wounds to seek out thee.
William Shakespeare
Ships are but boards, sailors but men.
William Shakespeare
Love and meekness, lord, Become a churchman better than ambition: Win straying souls with modesty again, Cast none away.
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
I am afeard there are few die well that die in battle, for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument?

William Shakespeare
The mightier man, the mightier is the thing That makes him honored or begets him hate For greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
William Shakespeare
Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell Of different flowers in odour and in hue Could make me any summer's story tell, Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew Nor did I wonder at the lily's white, Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose They were but sweet, but figures of delight, Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
William Shakespeare
You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live
William Shakespeare
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
William Shakespeare
Be not afeard the isle is full of noises.
William Shakespeare
Whatever praises itself but in the deed, devours the deed in the praise.
William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
William Shakespeare
He makes a July's day short as December.
William Shakespeare
All that glitters is not gold.
William Shakespeare
