We are time's subjects, and time bids be gone.
William Shakespeare
Image
So may the outward shows be least themselves The world is still deceived with ornament.
William Shakespeare
Image
Crowns have their compass-length of days their date- Triumphs their tomb-felicity, her fate- Of nought but earth can earth make us partaker, But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker.
William Shakespeare
Image
Zounds! I was never so bethumped with words since I first called my brother's father dad.
William Shakespeare

Now entertain conjecture of a time When creeping murmur and the poring dark Fills the wide vessel of the universe.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is not, nor it cannot, come to good, But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
William Shakespeare
Image
O heaven! were man, But constant, he were perfect.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but ay, And that bare vowel ay shall poison more Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice. I am not I,if there be such an ay, Or those eyes shut,that make thee answer ay: If he be slain say ay,or if not,no: Brief sounds,determine of my weal or woe.
William Shakespeare

Tis the mind that makes the body rich.
William Shakespeare
Image
What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers--shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
William Shakespeare
Image
If there be devils, would I were a devil, To live and burn in everlasting fire, So I might have your company in hell, But to torment you with my bitter tongue!
William Shakespeare
Image
The crown o' the earth doth melt. My lord! O, wither'd is the garland of the war, The soldier's pole is fall'n: young boys and girls Are level now with men the odds is gone, And there is nothing left remarkable Beneath the visiting moon.
William Shakespeare
Image
Like the lily That once was mistress of the field and flourished, I'll hang my head and perish.
William Shakespeare
Image
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
Image
So doth the greater glory dim the less: A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by.
William Shakespeare
Image
This act is an ancient tale new told And, in the last repeating, troublesome, Being urged at a time unseasonable.
William Shakespeare
Image
But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament.
William Shakespeare
Image
Men that make Envy and crooked malice nourishment, Dare bite the best.
William Shakespeare
Image
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
Image
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
