More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.
William Shakespeare
Happy thou art not for what thou hast not, still thou strivest to get and what thou hast, forgettest.
William Shakespeare
Love is merely a madness.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall with our English dead.
William Shakespeare
No particular scandal one can touch but it confounds the breather.
William Shakespeare
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep To sleep, perchance to dream—For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause, there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life
William Shakespeare
And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
William Shakespeare
O, the difference of man and man! To thee a woman's services are due.
William Shakespeare
'Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.
William Shakespeare
By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.
William Shakespeare
I myself am best When least in company.
William Shakespeare
The sense of death is most in apprehension, And the poor beetle, that we tread upon, In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
William Shakespeare
Nor shall this peace sleep with her but as when The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir As great in admiration as herself.
William Shakespeare
My endeavors Have ever come too short of my desires. Yet filed with my abilities.
William Shakespeare
Our holy lives must win a new world's crown.
William Shakespeare
I think the King is but a man as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me.
William Shakespeare
It is not, nor it cannot, come to good, But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
William Shakespeare
