More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have no way and therefore want no eyes I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen our means secure us, and our mere defects prove our commodities.
William Shakespeare
Let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them.
William Shakespeare
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.
William Shakespeare
Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.
William Shakespeare
Downy sleep, death's counterfeit.
William Shakespeare
You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
William Shakespeare
Men's vows are women's traitors
William Shakespeare
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
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity In least speak most, to my capacity.
William Shakespeare
I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.
William Shakespeare
An envious fever of pale and bloodless emulation.
William Shakespeare
There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
William Shakespeare
Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.
William Shakespeare
Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear
William Shakespeare
When I waked, I cried to dream again
William Shakespeare
And thou, all-shaking thunder, Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world! Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at once That makes ingrateful man!
William Shakespeare
Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet: Or like a whale? Polonius: Very like a whale.
William Shakespeare
I can counterfeit the deep tragedian Speak and look back, and pry on every side, Tremble and start, at wagging of a straw, Intending deep suspicion.
William Shakespeare
To take arms against a sea of troubles.
William Shakespeare
