More quotes by William Shakespeare
The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover, Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank, Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs, Losing both beauty and utility.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.
William Shakespeare
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
William Shakespeare
Up and down, up and down I will lead them up and down I am feared in field in town Goblin, lead them up and down
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage.
William Shakespeare
Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules, but beware instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter. I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.
William Shakespeare
If I lose my honor, I lose myself: better I were not yours Than yours so branchless.
William Shakespeare
So full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical.
William Shakespeare
