More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
These earthly godfathers of Heaven's lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.
William Shakespeare
Knavery's plain face is never seen till used.
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
I have a kind soul that would give you thanks. And knows not how to do it but with tears.
William Shakespeare
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out
William Shakespeare
Before, I loved thee as a brother, John, But now, I do respect thee as my soul.
William Shakespeare
O, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they do.
William Shakespeare
O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
William Shakespeare
When the sea was calm all ships alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall forth at vast of night that they may work All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.
William Shakespeare
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram The marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun, and with him rise weeping.
William Shakespeare
For such things as you, I can scarce think there's any, ye're so slight.
William Shakespeare
for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)
William Shakespeare
it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance
William Shakespeare
I'll say she looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew.
William Shakespeare
Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.
William Shakespeare
Now the melancholy of God protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changable taffata, for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything, and their intent everywhere, for that's it, that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
William Shakespeare
The fringed curtains of thine eye advance, And say what thou seest yond.
William Shakespeare
Speak, what trade art thou? Why, sir, a carpenter. Where is thy leather apron and thy rule? What does thou with thy best apparel on?
William Shakespeare
