More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.
William Shakespeare
How slow This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires, Like to a stepdame, or a dowager, Long withering out a young man's revenue.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Yet but three come one more. Two of both kinds make up four. Ere she comes curst and sad. Cupid is a knavish lad. Thus to make poor females mad.
William Shakespeare
I will be free, even to the uttermost, as I please, in words.
William Shakespeare
For in the fatness of these pursy times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg.
William Shakespeare
You take my house when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live.
William Shakespeare
Never, never, never, never, never! Pray you, undo this button.
William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.
William Shakespeare
