More quotes by William Shakespeare
From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain and nourish all the world.
William Shakespeare
The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through And keep their impious turbans on without Good morrow to the sun.
William Shakespeare
Season your admiration for a while.
William Shakespeare
He that has a house to put's head in has a good head-piece.
William Shakespeare
A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
William Shakespeare
I can again thy former light restore, Should I repent me: but once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume.
William Shakespeare
I am not prone to weeping as our sex commonly are the want of which vain dew perchance shall dry your pities but I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown.
William Shakespeare
For many men that stumble at the threshold are well foretold that danger lurks within.
William Shakespeare
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief? O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week, Or if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
So well thy words become thee as thy wounds.
William Shakespeare
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good a shining gloss that fadeth suddenly a flower that dies when it begins to bud a doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour.
William Shakespeare
Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion
William Shakespeare
Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
William Shakespeare
The hand of little employment hath the daintier sense.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Poise the cause in justice's equal scales, Whose beam stands sure, whose rightful cause prevails.
William Shakespeare
Was ever woman in this humour wooed? Was ever woman in this humour won?
William Shakespeare
But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
William Shakespeare
He hath eaten me out of house and home.
William Shakespeare
