The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs, Losing both beauty and utility.
William Shakespeare
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
His worst fault is, he's given to prayer he is something peevish that way.
William Shakespeare
My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the Bay of Portugal.
William Shakespeare
. . from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done.
William Shakespeare
Passion makes the will lord of the reason.
William Shakespeare
Say, what abridgement have you for this evening? What masque, what music? How shall we beguile The lazy time if not with some delight?
William Shakespeare
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul, That not your trespass but my madness speaks.
William Shakespeare
Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, Drink off this potion!
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
If all the year were playing holidays To sport would be as tedious as to work.
William Shakespeare
