More quotes by William Shakespeare
But to my mind, though I am native here, And to the manner born, it is a custom, More honored in the breach than the observance.
William Shakespeare
Never shame to hear what you have nobly done
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But, either it was different in blood,- Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,- Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
William Shakespeare
What is the city but the people?
William Shakespeare
We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.
William Shakespeare
I will through and through Cleanse the foul body of th' infected world, If they will patiently receive my medicine.
William Shakespeare
'Tis thought the king is dead we will not stay. The bay trees in our country are all wither'd.
William Shakespeare
Good wombs have borne bad sons. -- (Miranda, I:2)
William Shakespeare
Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench I love her ten times more than e'er I did: O, how I long to have some chat with her!
William Shakespeare
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
William Shakespeare

I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
William Shakespeare
Let life be short, else shame will be too long.
William Shakespeare
Never anger made good guard for itself.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
Take her away for she hath lived too long, To fill the world with vicious qualities.
William Shakespeare
All surfeit is the father of much fast.
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
