More quotes by William Shakespeare
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare
Omittance is no quittance.

William Shakespeare
To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just.
William Shakespeare
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
William Shakespeare
Indeed, sir, he that sleeps feels not the toothache but a man that were to sleep your sleep, and a hangman to help him to bed, I think he would change places with his officer for look you, sir, you know not which way you shall go.
William Shakespeare
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
William Shakespeare
Thou art a very ragged Wart.
William Shakespeare
