More quotes by William Shakespeare
This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange That even our loves should with our fortunes change, For 'tis a question left us yet to prove, Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
William Shakespeare
I see a man's life is a tedious one.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
William Shakespeare
You speak like a green girl / unsifted in such perilous circumstances.
William Shakespeare
An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England.
William Shakespeare
Come my spade. There is no ancient gentlemen but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers they hold up Adam's profession.
William Shakespeare
There's never a villain dwelling in all Denmark But he's an arrant knave.
William Shakespeare
I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Villains, vipers, damn'd without redemption Dogs, easily won to fawn on any man Snakes in my heart-blood warm'd, that sing my heart Three Judases, each one thrice worse than Judas.
William Shakespeare
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze by the sweet power of music.
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
Lay her i' the earth: And from her fair and unpolluted flesh May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, A ministering angel shall my sister be, When thou liest howling. HAMLET. What, the fair Ophelia! QUEEN GERTRUDE. Sweets to the sweet: farewell!
William Shakespeare
If ever (as that ever may be near) you meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy, then shall you know the wounds invisible that love's keen, arrows make.
William Shakespeare
I am disgraced, impeached, and baffled here, Pierced to the soul with slander's venomed spear.
William Shakespeare
We must be brief when traitors brave the field.
William Shakespeare
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables.
William Shakespeare
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
Ay beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
William Shakespeare
Fare thee well, king: sith thus thou wilt appear, Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here.
William Shakespeare
Such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
