More quotes by 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
Oh, how this spring of love resembleth, The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all beauty of the Sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away
William Shakespeare
Thou art a slave, whom fortune's tender arm With favour never clasp'd but bred a dog.

William Shakespeare
Every thing that grows / Holds in perfection but a little moment.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Make use of time, let not advantage slip Beauty within itself should not be wasted: Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime Rot and consume themselves in little time.
William Shakespeare
Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, But they shall find awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind, Ability in means, and choice of friends, To quit me of them throughly.
William Shakespeare
Temptation is the fire that brings up the scum of the heart.
William Shakespeare
What is the city but the people?
William Shakespeare
Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy.
William Shakespeare
I would with such perfection govern, sir, T'excel the golden age.
William Shakespeare
The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.
William Shakespeare
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
Ships are but boards, sailors but men.
William Shakespeare
There is a time in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
William Shakespeare
