More quotes by William Shakespeare
Should the poor be flattered? No let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
William Shakespeare
Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
William Shakespeare
The little dogs and all, Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart-see, they bark at me.
William Shakespeare
A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame.
William Shakespeare
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare
Because it is a customary cross, As die to love as thoughts, and dreams, and sighs, Wishes, and tears, poor fancy's followers.
William Shakespeare
At once, good night- Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.
William Shakespeare
The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place, Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, Office, and custom, in all line of order.
William Shakespeare
To be once in doubt Is once to be resolved.
William Shakespeare
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that ever I could read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Be not afeard the isle is full of noises.
William Shakespeare
You have witchcraft in your lips
William Shakespeare
I'll teach you differences.
William Shakespeare
A heavy heart bears not a nimble tongue.
William Shakespeare
The tyrant custom, most grave senators, Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war My thrice-driven bed of down.
William Shakespeare
Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember wrongs?
William Shakespeare
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
William Shakespeare
thus with a kiss I die
William Shakespeare
