More quotes by William Shakespeare
Thy tongue Makes Welsh as sweet as ditties highly penn'd, Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower, With ravishing division, to her lute.
William Shakespeare
For it falls out That what we have we prize not to the worth Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, Why, then we rack the value, then we find The virtue that possession would not show us While it was ours.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
William Shakespeare
O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note, to drown me in thy sister’s flood of tears.

Let me not live, after my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff of younger spirits.
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare
Speak comfortable words.
William Shakespeare
Good wombs have borne bad sons. -- (Miranda, I:2)
William Shakespeare
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
William Shakespeare
It is not vain glory for a man and his glass to confer in his own chamber.
William Shakespeare
To wilful men, the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.
William Shakespeare
In limited professions there's boundless theft.
William Shakespeare
Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago, If thou but think'st him wronged, and mak'st his ear A stranger to thy thoughts.
William Shakespeare
Though inclination be as sharp as will, My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent, And, like a man to double business bound, I stand in pause where I shall first begin, And both neglect.
William Shakespeare
