More quotes by William Shakespeare
Words are grown so false, I am loath to prove reason with them.
William Shakespeare
Ten kisses short as one, one long as twenty.
William Shakespeare
We that are true lovers run into strange capers but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
William Shakespeare
Take physic, pomp Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, That thou mayst shake the superflux to them And show the heavens more just.
William Shakespeare
Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy centre out.
William Shakespeare
Rashly, And praised be rashness for it--let us know, Our indiscretion sometime serves us well When our deep plots do pall, and that should learn us There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will
William Shakespeare
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
By innocence I swear, and by my youth, I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth, And that no woman has, nor never none Shall mistress be of it save I alone.
William Shakespeare
For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry And so I hear he doth account me too.
William Shakespeare
And nothing can we call our own but death And that small model of the barren earth Which serves as paste and cover to our bones. For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William Shakespeare
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he arm'd, that hath his quarrel just.
William Shakespeare
To do a great right do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
Stones have been known to move and trees to speak.
William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.
William Shakespeare
The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Burnt on the water.
William Shakespeare
As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times before their deaths the valiant never taste of death but once.
William Shakespeare
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
William Shakespeare
