Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Tis but a base, ignoble mind That mounts no higher than a bird can soar.
William Shakespeare
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But bad mortality o'ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
William Shakespeare
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.
William Shakespeare
A woman's thought runs before her actions.
William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel.
William Shakespeare
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
There's small choice in rotten apples.
William Shakespeare
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare
Every why has a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
Ingratitude is monstrous.
William Shakespeare
To persevere In obstinate condolement is a course Of impious stubbornness: 'tis unmanly grief.
William Shakespeare
I see, sir, you are liberal in offers. You taught me first to beg, and now methinks You teach me how a beggar should be answered.
William Shakespeare
Proper deformity shows not in the fiend So horrid as in woman.
William Shakespeare
To show an unfelt sorrow is an office Which the false man does easy.
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
The world is not thy friend, nor the world's law. - Romeo
William Shakespeare
[Thine] face is not worth sunburning.
William Shakespeare
Truth needs no color beauty, no pencil.
William Shakespeare
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
