Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown, Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Right joyous are we to behold your face, Most worthy brother England fairly met!
William Shakespeare
For the poor wren (The most diminutive of birds) will fight, Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.
William Shakespeare
What: is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?
William Shakespeare
Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. *Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.*
William Shakespeare
A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state Empties itself, as dot an inland brook Into the main of waters.
William Shakespeare
Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affection, Figures pedantical--these summer flies Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
William Shakespeare
When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
William Shakespeare
Guiltiness will speak, though tongues were out of use
William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
William Shakespeare
Fore God, you have here a goodly dwelling and a rich.
William Shakespeare
The will is deaf and hears no heedful friends.
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
My pride fell with my fortunes.
William Shakespeare
How hard it is for women to keep counsel!
William Shakespeare
You must not think That we are made of stuff so fat and dull That we can let our beard be shook with danger And think it pastime.
William Shakespeare
Every why has a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
I say there is no darkness but ignorance.
William Shakespeare
He's loved of the distracted multitude, who like not in their judgement, but their eyes.
William Shakespeare
Manhood is melted into courtesies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.
William Shakespeare
