More quotes by William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.
William Shakespeare
A smile cures the wounding of a frown.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Trust not your daughter's minds By what you see them act.
William Shakespeare
Doubt thou the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love.
William Shakespeare
He that dies pays all debts.
William Shakespeare
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use, Revolts from true birth stumbling on abuse.
William Shakespeare
I would with such perfection govern, sir, T'excel the golden age.
William Shakespeare
No particular scandal one can touch but it confounds the breather.
William Shakespeare
Never he will not: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.
William Shakespeare
England, bound in with the triumphant sea, Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege Of watery Neptune.
William Shakespeare
I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking so full of valor that they smote the air, for breathing in their faces, beat the ground for kissing of their feet.
William Shakespeare
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
William Shakespeare
Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, it best agrees with night
William Shakespeare
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-Paradise.
William Shakespeare
