O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul that, struggling to be free, art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
William Shakespeare

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare
Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe.
William Shakespeare
My love is deep the more I give to thee, the more I have, both are infinite.
William Shakespeare
Let me be boiled to death with melancholy.
William Shakespeare
Here is a rural fellow that will not be denied your Highness' presence: he brings you figs.
William Shakespeare
Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
William Shakespeare
The hand of little employment hath the daintier sense.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head, Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?
William Shakespeare
You take my house when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live.
William Shakespeare
Manhood is melted into courtesies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.
William Shakespeare
Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
He was not so much brain as earwax
William Shakespeare
Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and smooth But that our soft conditions and our hearts Should well agree with our external parts?
William Shakespeare
Knit your hearts with an unslipping knot.
William Shakespeare
Be as thou wast wont to be. See as thou wast wont to see.
William Shakespeare
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
A good man's fortune may grow out at heels.
William Shakespeare
