More quotes by William Shakespeare
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

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Obey thy parents, keep thy word justly swear not commit not with man's sworn spouse set not thy sweet heart on proud array. * * * Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy pen from lenders' books.

William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER: I do not know that Englishman alive With whom my soul is any jot at odds, More than the infant that is born to-night: I thank my God for my humility.
William Shakespeare
I had rather eleven died nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd, Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked, or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee.
William Shakespeare
But no perfection is so absolute, That some impurity doth not pollute.
William Shakespeare
Nothing 'gainst Times scythe can make defence.
William Shakespeare
Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!
William Shakespeare
Great men may jest with saints 'tis wit in them But, in the less foul profanation.
William Shakespeare
