More quotes by William Shakespeare
Ay beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
William Shakespeare
I, measuring his affections by my own, Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self, Pursued my humor not pursuing his, And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
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

Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To digg the dust encloased heare! Blest be the man that spares thes stones, And curst be he that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare
Great men may jest with saints 'tis wit in them But, in the less foul profanation.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.

I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment.
