Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
The rest, is silence.
William Shakespeare
The fewer men, the greater share of honor.
William Shakespeare
For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
William Shakespeare
All the contagion of the south light on you, You shames of Rome! you herd of--boils and plagues Plaster you o'er that you may be abhorr'd Further than seen, and one infect another Against the wind a mile!
William Shakespeare
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare
The worm is not to be trusted.
William Shakespeare
Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania
William Shakespeare
I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world were now undone.
William Shakespeare
There is no more mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
William Shakespeare
Though now this grained face of mine be hid In sap-consuming winter's drizzled snow, And all the conduits of my blood froze up, Yet hath my night of life some memory, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, My dull deaf ears a little use to hear.
William Shakespeare
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily... is wasteful and ridiculous excess
William Shakespeare
Unsubstantial Death is amorous.
William Shakespeare
We must be gentle now we are gentlemen.
William Shakespeare
Guiltiness will speak, though tongues were out of use
William Shakespeare
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
William Shakespeare
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair, Playing in the wanton air: Through the velvet leaves the wind, All unseen can passage find That the lover, sick to death, Wish'd himself the heaven's breath.
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful
William Shakespeare
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
William Shakespeare
