More quotes by William Shakespeare
So may he rest, his faults lie gently on him!
William Shakespeare
Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive, and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must be held a rancorous enemy.
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
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov'd, I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
William Shakespeare
But virtue never will be mov'd, Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven.
William Shakespeare
There lives within the very flame of love A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.
William Shakespeare
Never he will not: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.
William Shakespeare
That in the captains but a choleric word Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.
William Shakespeare
Before thee stands this fair Hesperides, With golden fruit, but dangerous to be touched For death-like dragons here affright thee hard.
William Shakespeare
How wayward is this foolish love that, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse and presently, all humble, kiss the rod.
William Shakespeare
Jesu, Jesu, the mad days that I have spent! And to see how many of my old acquaintance are dead!
William Shakespeare
The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
William Shakespeare
Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils.
William Shakespeare
In sooth I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me, you say it wearies you But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn.
William Shakespeare
Blind is his love, and best befits the dark.
William Shakespeare
The southern wind Doth play the trumpet to his purposes And, by his hollow whistling in the leaves, Foretells a tempest and a blustering day.
William Shakespeare
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet Grace must still look so.
William Shakespeare
O war! thou son of Hell!
William Shakespeare
O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, 1710. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
William Shakespeare
My language! heavens!I am the best of them that speak this speech. Were I but where 'tis spoken.
William Shakespeare
