More quotes by William Shakespeare
A peevish self-willed harlotry it is. *She’s a stubborn little brat.*
William Shakespeare
Truth hath a quiet breast.
William Shakespeare
Discuss unto me: art thou officer, Or art thou base, common, and popular?
William Shakespeare
An honest man, sir, is able to speak for himself, when a knave is not.
William Shakespeare
Let's take the instant by the forward top For we are old, and on our quick'st decrees The inaudible and noiseless foot of Time Steals ere we can effect them.
William Shakespeare
Ruin has taught me to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
William Shakespeare
I humbly do beseech of your pardon, For too much loving you
William Shakespeare
If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other, And I will look on both indifferently For let the gods so speed me as I love The name of honor more than I fear death.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
Here's that which is too weak to be a sinner, honest water, which ne'er left man i' the mire.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
Be still prepared for death: and death or life shall thereby be the sweeter.
William Shakespeare
A plague of sighing and grief! It blows a man up like a bladder.
William Shakespeare
There is none of my uncle's marks upon you he taught me how to know a man in love in which cage of rushes I am sure you are not prisoner.
William Shakespeare
There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions.
William Shakespeare
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
Now he'll outstare the lightning. To be furious Is to be frightened out of fear.
William Shakespeare
The pleasing punishment that women bear.
William Shakespeare
