William Shakespeare
I know a lady in Venice would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether lip
William Shakespeare
Men judge by the complexion of the sky The state and inclination of the day.
William Shakespeare
My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon's tail, and my nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows, I am roughand lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
ROMEO There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murders in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. I sell thee poison thou hast sold me none. Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh. Come, cordial and not poison, go with me To Juliet's grave for there must I use thee.
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
Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him. Not a man in England Can advise me like you: be to yourself As you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Have you not heard it said full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught?
William Shakespeare
Ha. Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner. There's a double meaning in that. -Benedick (Much Ado)
William Shakespeare
Tears water our growth.
William Shakespeare
The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.
William Shakespeare
O heaven! were man, But constant, he were perfect.
William Shakespeare
A sad tale's best for winter. I have one of sprites and goblins.
William Shakespeare
And when I am forgotten, as I shall be, And asleep in dull cold marble, where no mention Of me must be heard of, say, I taught thee.
William Shakespeare
Give thy thoughts no tongue.
William Shakespeare
If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.
William Shakespeare
They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.
William Shakespeare
Good counselors lack no clients.
William Shakespeare
Then was I as a tree whose boughs did bend with fruit but in one night, a storm or robbery, call it what you will, shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, and left me bare to weather.
William Shakespeare
