Tis better using France than trusting France Let us be back'd with God, and with the seas, Which He hath given for fence impregnable, And with their helps only defend ourselves In them, and in ourselves, our safety lies.
William Shakespeare

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Appetite, a universal wolf.
William Shakespeare
Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.
William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William Shakespeare
Muster your wits stand in your own defence.
William Shakespeare
Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.
William Shakespeare
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good a shining gloss that fadeth suddenly a flower that dies when it begins to bud a doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour.
William Shakespeare
And be these juggling friends no more believ'd, That palter with us in a double sense That keep the word of promise to our ear And break it to our hope.
William Shakespeare
Doubt thou the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, it best agrees with night
William Shakespeare
We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh few are angels.
William Shakespeare
He's a soldier and for one to say a soldier lies, is stabbing.
William Shakespeare
Drink down all unkindness.
William Shakespeare
I'll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hacked.
William Shakespeare
O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)
William Shakespeare
Fondling,' she saith, 'since I have hemm'd thee here Within the circuit of this ivory pale, I'll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale: Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
Instead of weeping when a tragedy occurs in a songbird's life, it sings away its grief. I believe we could well follow the pattern of our feathered friends.
William Shakespeare
