More quotes by William Shakespeare
How low am I, thou painted maypole?
William Shakespeare
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
William Shakespeare
His steeds to water at those springs On chaliced flowers that lies And winking Mary-buds begin To ope their golden eyes: With every thing that pretty is, My lady sweet, arise.
William Shakespeare
Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine, Whose weakness, married to thy stronger state, Makes me with thy strength to communicate.
William Shakespeare
Let's teach ourselves that honorable stop, Not to outsport discretion.
William Shakespeare
Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lender's books, and defy the foul fiend.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage.
William Shakespeare
I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.
William Shakespeare
Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem Or those that be not, would they might seem none!.
William Shakespeare
My crown is in my heart, not on my head.
William Shakespeare
There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.
William Shakespeare
I will be master of what is mine own: She is my goods, my chattels she is my house, My household stuff, my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing.
William Shakespeare
Will you walk out of the air, my lord? HAMLET Into my grave.
William Shakespeare
Their manners are more gentle, kind, than of Our human generation you shall find.
William Shakespeare
A contract of eternal bond of love, Confirm'd by mutual joinder of your hands, Arrested by the holy close of lips, Strength'ned by the interchangement of your rings, And all the ceremony of this compact Seal'd in my function, by my testimony.
William Shakespeare
He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.
William Shakespeare
Think'st thou I'd make a life of jealousy, To follow still the changes of the moon With fresh suspicions? No to be once in doubt Is once to be resolved.
William Shakespeare
The devil knew what he did when he made men politic he crossed himself by it.
William Shakespeare
