More quotes by William Shakespeare
But indeed an old religious uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man one that knew courtship too well, for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many lectures against it and I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched with so many giddy offenses as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal.
William Shakespeare
Ay, but to die, and go we know not where.
William Shakespeare
Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.
William Shakespeare
To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast!
William Shakespeare
Foul cankering rust the hidden treasure frets, but gold that's put to use more gold begets.
William Shakespeare
Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap? Ophelia: No, my lord. Hamlet: DId you think I meant country matters? Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord. Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs. Ophelia: What is, my lord? Hamlet: Nothing.
William Shakespeare
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores.
William Shakespeare
Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
William Shakespeare
We cannot all be masters, nor all masters Cannot be truly followed.
William Shakespeare
Swift as shadow, short as any dream
William Shakespeare
'Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.
William Shakespeare
A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare
Fear not, Cesario, take thy fortunes up. Be that thou know'st thou art and then thou art as great as that thou fear'st.
William Shakespeare
Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done.
William Shakespeare
The seeming truth which cunning times put on to entrap the wisest.
William Shakespeare
So doth the greater glory dim the less: A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by.
William Shakespeare
For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate... When in eternal lines to time thou growst So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
Few love to hear the sins they love to act.
William Shakespeare
