Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own
William Shakespeare
Who is Silvia What is she, That all our swains commend her Holy, fair, and wise is she.
William Shakespeare
O momentary grace of mortal men, Which we more hunt for than the grace of God!
William Shakespeare
But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat.
William Shakespeare
Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate, Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving.
William Shakespeare
Summer's lease hath all too short a date.
William Shakespeare
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true?
William Shakespeare
O war! thou son of Hell!
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.
William Shakespeare
Et tu Brute! (You too, Brutus!)
William Shakespeare
Be stirring as the time be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
William Shakespeare
The quality of nothing hath not such need to hide itself
William Shakespeare
O gentlemen, the time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long, If life did ride upon a dial's point, Still ending at the arrival of an hour.
William Shakespeare
However wickedness outstrips men, it has no wings to fly from God.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
The jury passing on the prisoner's life may in the sworn twelve have a thief or two guiltier than him they try.
William Shakespeare
The best quarrels, in the heat, are cursed by those that feel their sharpness.
William Shakespeare
Polonius: Do you know me, my lord? Hamlet: Excellent well. You are a fishmonger.
William Shakespeare
Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I every man to his business.
William Shakespeare
