More quotes by William Shakespeare
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare
Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off ... Do not for ever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust.
William Shakespeare
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die' But if that flow'r with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
William Shakespeare
He is winding the watch of his wit by and by it will strike.
William Shakespeare
All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.
William Shakespeare
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold
William Shakespeare
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.
William Shakespeare
Care is no cure, but rather corrosive, For things that are not to be remedied.
William Shakespeare
He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him if stronger, spare thyself.
William Shakespeare
Ingrateful man with liquorish draughts, and morsels unctuous, greases his pure mind that from it all consideration slips.
William Shakespeare
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock The meat it feeds on.
William Shakespeare
I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.
William Shakespeare
I do I know not what, and fear to find Mine eye too great a flatterer for my mind. Fate, show thy force. Ourselves we do not owe. What is decreed must be and be this so.
William Shakespeare
You taught me language, and my profit on't / Is, I know how to curse
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women mearly players.
William Shakespeare
You have too much respect upon the world They lose it that do buy it with much care
William Shakespeare
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
William Shakespeare
Shall I never see a bachelor of three score again?
William Shakespeare
