More quotes by William Shakespeare
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.
William Shakespeare
Delay leads impotent and snail-paced beggary.
William Shakespeare
Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion. I am sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
William Shakespeare
Twere to consider too curiously, to consider so.
William Shakespeare
Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affection, Figures pedantical--these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
William Shakespeare
Nothing routs us but the villainy of our fears.
William Shakespeare
Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast but thy good spirits To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
William Shakespeare
If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.
William Shakespeare
Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit All with me's meet that I can fashion fit.
William Shakespeare
He that is strucken blind can not forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost.
William Shakespeare
The violence of either grief or joy, their own enactures with themselves destroy.
William Shakespeare
But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
William Shakespeare
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day, As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by-and-by black night doth take away.
William Shakespeare
That affable familiar ghost Which nightly gulls him with intelligence.
William Shakespeare
Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago, If thou but think'st him wronged, and mak'st his ear A stranger to thy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the North he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots as a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife, 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work.
William Shakespeare
A nun of winter's sisterhood kisses not more religiously the very ice of chastity is in them.
William Shakespeare
Is this government of Britain's Isle, and this the royalty of Albion's King?
William Shakespeare
Neither my place, nor aught I heard of business, Hath raised me from my bed nor doth the general care Take hold on me for my particular grief Is of so floodgate and o'erbearing nature That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, And it is still itself.
William Shakespeare
Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypres let me be laid Fly away, fly away, breath I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
William Shakespeare
