More quotes by William Shakespeare
Sir, the year growing ancient, Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors, Which some call nature's bastards.
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

William Shakespeare
Tears water our growth.

William Shakespeare
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
My long sickness Of health and living now begins to mend, And nothing brings me all things.
William Shakespeare
God mark thee to His grace! Thou was the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And might I live to see thee married once, I have my wish.
William Shakespeare
I must to the barber's, monsieur, for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face.
William Shakespeare
We that are true lovers run into strange capers but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
William Shakespeare
God defend me from that Welsh fairy, Lest he transform me to a piece of cheese!
William Shakespeare
There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind
William Shakespeare
I am bewitched with the rogue's company. If the rascal have not given me medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged.
William Shakespeare
