Who would be so mocked with glory, or to live But in a dream of friendship, To have his pomp and all what state compounds But only painted, like his varnished friends?

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep.
William Shakespeare
Time, whose millioned accidents creep in betwixt vows, and change decrees of kings, tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharpest intents, divert strong minds to the course of altering things.
William Shakespeare
But since the affairs of men rests still incertain, Let's reason with the worst that may befall.
William Shakespeare
Some glory in their birth , some in their skill , Some in their wealth , some in their bodies' force , Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill Some in their hawks and hounds , some in their horse And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure , Wherein it finds a joy above the rest .
William Shakespeare
Twas a clever quibble. Here, a garment for it.
William Shakespeare
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
Base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them.
William Shakespeare
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
William Shakespeare
Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affection, Figures pedantical--these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
William Shakespeare
When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again, It needs must wither. I'll smell it on the tree.
William Shakespeare
You have too much respect upon the world They lose it that do buy it with much care
William Shakespeare
I have heard of your paintings too, well enough God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
William Shakespeare
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
William Shakespeare
I'll be damned for never a king's son in Christendom.
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare
Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator.
William Shakespeare
April ... hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespeare
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
William Shakespeare
Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.
William Shakespeare
But here's the joy: my friend and I are one, Sweet flattery!
