More quotes by William Shakespeare
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies
William Shakespeare
Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.
William Shakespeare
I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl. The secret mischiefs that I set abroach I lay unto the grievous charge of others.
William Shakespeare
I fill up a place, which may be better... when I have made it empty.
William Shakespeare
All surfeit is the father of much fast.
William Shakespeare
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
William Shakespeare
Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.
William Shakespeare
Dreams, indeed, are ambition for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. And I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.
William Shakespeare
The means that heaven yields must be embraced, and not neglected else, if heaven would, and we will not heaven's offer, we refuse the proffered means of succor and redress.
William Shakespeare
So weary with disasters, tugg'd with fortune, That I would set my life on any chance, To mend, or be rid on't.
William Shakespeare
Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
William Shakespeare
Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.
William Shakespeare
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads, My gorgeous palace for a hermitage, My gay apparel for an almsman's gown, My figured goblets for a dish of wood, My scepter for a palmer's walking staff My subjects for a pair of carved saints and my large kingdom for a little grave.
William Shakespeare
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.
William Shakespeare
Hasty marriage seldom proveth well.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
All things that are, are with more spirit chased than enjoyed.
William Shakespeare
Contention, like a horse, Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose, And bears down all before him.
William Shakespeare
All dark and comfortless.
William Shakespeare
