Love's heralds should be thoughts, Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams Driving back shadows over low'ring hills. Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love, And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
William Shakespeare

More quotes by William Shakespeare
I am a foe to tyrants, and my country's friend.
William Shakespeare
The prize of all too precious you.
William Shakespeare
Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow.
William Shakespeare
I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.
William Shakespeare
Well, God give them wisdom that have it and those that are fools, let them use their talents.
William Shakespeare
Full many a glorious morn I have seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.
William Shakespeare
This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o-erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our own virtues.
William Shakespeare
Weep I cannot But my heart bleeds.
William Shakespeare
For the success, Although particular, shall give a scantling Of good or bad unto the general And in such indexes, although small pricks To their subsequent volumes, there is seen The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come at large.
William Shakespeare
Men should be what they seem.
William Shakespeare
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
William Shakespeare
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, From earth to heaven.
William Shakespeare
O hell! to choose love with another's eye.
William Shakespeare
'Twas merry when You wagered on your angling, when your diver Did hang a salt fish on his hook, which he With fervency drew up.
William Shakespeare
Self-love is the most inhibited sin in the canon.
William Shakespeare
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
William Shakespeare
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
William Shakespeare
What's past and what's to come is strew'd with husks And formless ruin of oblivion.
William Shakespeare
