More quotes by William Shakespeare
His worst fault is, he's given to prayer he is something peevish that way.
William Shakespeare
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!
William Shakespeare
In jest, there is truth.
William Shakespeare
Shorten my days thou canst with sullen sorrow, And pluck nights from me, but not lend a morrow Thou canst help time to furrow me with age, But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage.
William Shakespeare
Swift as shadow, short as any dream
William Shakespeare
Against self-slaughter There is a prohibition so divine That cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
They were devils incarnate.
William Shakespeare
Wrong hath but wrong, and blame the due of blame.
William Shakespeare
I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.
William Shakespeare
Rich honesty dwells like a miser, Sir, in a poor house as your pearl in your foul oyster.
William Shakespeare
Time is like a fashionable host That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, And with his arm outstretch'd, as he would fly, Grasps in the comer.
William Shakespeare
Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
William Shakespeare
Dreams, indeed, are ambition for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. And I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.
William Shakespeare
It is a sin to be a mocker.
William Shakespeare
You cannot call it love, for at your age the heyday in the blood is tame
William Shakespeare
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troops, and the big wars That make ambition virtue.
William Shakespeare
It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.
William Shakespeare
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
