More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let me not live, after my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff of younger spirits.
William Shakespeare
This day I breathed first: time is come round, And where I did begin there shall I end My life is run his compass.
William Shakespeare
If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her, she would infect to the north star!
William Shakespeare
Me, poor man, my library Was dukedom large enough.
William Shakespeare
Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
For man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
William Shakespeare
If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
Though now this grained face of mine be hid In sap-consuming winter's drizzled snow, And all the conduits of my blood froze up, Yet hath my night of life some memory, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, My dull deaf ears a little use to hear.
William Shakespeare
Such tricks hath strong imagination, That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear!
William Shakespeare
Wolves and bears, they say, casting their savagery aside, have done like offices of pity.
William Shakespeare
Love's mind of judgment rarely hath a taste: Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
A hit, a very palpable hit.
William Shakespeare
I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
William Shakespeare
To be merry best becomes you for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour.
William Shakespeare
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear.
William Shakespeare
Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.
William Shakespeare
Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight which therein works a miracle in Nature, making them lightest that wear most of it: so are those crisped snaky golden locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a second head, the skull that bred them in the sepulchre.
William Shakespeare
As you are old and reverend, you should be wise.
William Shakespeare
An old man, broken with the storms of state, Is come to lay his weary bones among ye Give him a little earth for charity!
William Shakespeare
I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny, who sways, not as it hath power, but as it is suffered.
William Shakespeare
