Come, go with us, speak fair you may salve so, Not what is dangerous present, but the los Of what is past.
William Shakespeare
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
William Shakespeare
Love's mind of judgment rarely hath a taste: Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
Vice repeated is like the wandering wind, blows dust in others' eyes to spread itself.
William Shakespeare
I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
William Shakespeare
They whose guilt within their bosom lies, imagine every eye beholds their blame.
William Shakespeare
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
William Shakespeare
To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans coy looks, with heart-sore sighs one fading moment's mirth
William Shakespeare
If thou art rich, thou art poor for, like an ass, whose back with ingots bows, thou bearest thy heavy riches but a journey, and death unloads thee.
William Shakespeare
I can again thy former light restore, Should I repent me: but once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume.
William Shakespeare
Yon grey lines That fret the clouds are messengers of day.
William Shakespeare
But whate'er I am, nor I nor any man that but man is, With nothing shall be pleased 'til he be eased With being nothing.
William Shakespeare
Zounds! sir, you are one of those that will not serve God if the devil bid you.
William Shakespeare
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
William Shakespeare
Then was I as a tree whose boughs did bend with fruit but in one night, a storm or robbery, call it what you will, shook down my mellow hangings, nay, my leaves, and left me bare to weather.
William Shakespeare
O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!
William Shakespeare
What is light, if Sylvia be not seen? What is joy if Sylvia be not by?
William Shakespeare
Every subject's duty is the Kings, but every subject's soul is his own.
William Shakespeare
Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.
William Shakespeare
