More quotes by William Shakespeare
A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.
William Shakespeare
O, the blood more stirs To rouse a lion than to start a hare!
William Shakespeare
And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me. Now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass so that by my foes, sir, I profit in the knowledge of myself, any by my friends I am abused so that, conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why then, the worse for my friends, and the better for my foes.
William Shakespeare
For to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?
William Shakespeare
A kind Of excellent dumb discourse.
William Shakespeare
A woman moved is like a fountain troubled, Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty.
William Shakespeare
Tremble, thou wretch, That hast within thee undivulged crimes Unwhipped of justice.
William Shakespeare
Look, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east! Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tip-toe on the misty mountain-tops.
William Shakespeare
I know them, yea, And what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple Scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, Go antickly, and show outward hideousness, And speak off half a dozen dangerous words, How they might hurt their enemies, if they durst And this is all.
William Shakespeare
Some there be that shadows kiss Such have but a shadow's bliss.
William Shakespeare
Take heed, dear heart, of this large privilege The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.
William Shakespeare
Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue For all the water in the ocean Can never turn the swan's black legs to white, Although she lave them hourly in the flood.
William Shakespeare
Let me confess that we two must be twain, although our undivided loves are one.
William Shakespeare
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Our enemies are our outward consciences.
William Shakespeare
And simple truth miscalled simplicity
William Shakespeare
If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend?
William Shakespeare
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
