More quotes by William Shakespeare
Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.
William Shakespeare
I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.
William Shakespeare
Un-thread the rude eye of rebellion, and welcome home again discarded faith.
William Shakespeare
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, So stumblest on my counsel? *Who are you? Why do you hide in the darkness and listen to my private thoughts?*
William Shakespeare
His life was gentle and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
William Shakespeare
See the minutes, how they run, How many make the hour full complete How many hours bring about the day How many days will finish up the year How many years a mortal man may live.
William Shakespeare
What's done is done. The joy is in the doing.
William Shakespeare
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
William Shakespeare
What's gone, and what's past help, Should be past grief.
William Shakespeare
Ten masts make not the altitude Which thou hast perpendicularly fell. Thy life's a miracle.
William Shakespeare
Tush! Fear not, my lord, we will not stand to prate Talkers are no good doers: be assured We come to use our hands and not our tongues.
William Shakespeare
When rich villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will
William Shakespeare
I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion, and I will right myself like a soldier.
William Shakespeare
Be still prepared for death: and death or life shall thereby be the sweeter.
William Shakespeare
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
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
World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee/ Life would not yield to age.
William Shakespeare
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.
William Shakespeare
A sentence is but a cheveril glove to a good wit How quickly the wrong side may be turned outward!
William Shakespeare
