More quotes by William Shakespeare
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered!
William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter!
William Shakespeare
Greatness knows itself.
William Shakespeare
To England will I steal, and there I'll steal.
William Shakespeare
When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room. Truly, I would the gods had made thee poetical.
William Shakespeare
England is safe, if true within itself.
William Shakespeare
Who seeks, and will not take, when once 'tis offer'd, Shall never find it more.
William Shakespeare
The purest treasure mortal times can afford is a spotless reputation.
William Shakespeare
I'll have no husband, if you be not he.
William Shakespeare
Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
William Shakespeare
If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, 'This poet lies Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
For grief is crowned with consolation.
William Shakespeare
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.
William Shakespeare
Why, then the world ’s mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season.
William Shakespeare
The happiest youth, viewing his progress through, What perils past, what crosses to ensue, Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.
William Shakespeare
Most friendship is faining, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh-ho, the holly. This life is most jolly.
William Shakespeare
O' What may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side!
William Shakespeare
