Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.

More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
William Shakespeare
Image
Take but degree away, untune that string, and hark, what discord follows!
William Shakespeare
Image
Ay, but to die and go we know not where To lie in cold obstrution and to rot This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Image
A good heart is the sun and the moon or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.

Like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks.
William Shakespeare

Ay beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
William Shakespeare
Image
Charity itself fulfills the law. And who can sever love from charity?
William Shakespeare
Image
And my poor fool is hanged! No, no, no life! Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life, And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never! Pray you, undo this button.
William Shakespeare
Image
The Dear father Would with his daughter speak, commands her service Are they inform'd of this?
William Shakespeare
Image
Where shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly 's done, when the battle 's lost and won
William Shakespeare
Image
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
William Shakespeare
Image
Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' Like the poor cat i' the adage?
