More quotes by William Shakespeare
Things may serve long, but not serve ever.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul that, struggling to be free, art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! Bow, stubborn knees! and, heart with strings of steel, be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
William Shakespeare
Past all shame, so past all truth.
William Shakespeare
A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind.
William Shakespeare
Mine eyes smell onions: I shall weep anon.
William Shakespeare
Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.
William Shakespeare
He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.
William Shakespeare
What fates impose, that men must needs abide it boots not to resist both wind and tide.
William Shakespeare
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight The words of heaven on whom it will, it will, On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.
William Shakespeare
Fortune reigns in gifts of the world.
William Shakespeare
Every good servant does not all commands.
William Shakespeare
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
William Shakespeare
He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause.
William Shakespeare
Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.
William Shakespeare
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.
William Shakespeare
I cannot but remember such things were that were most precious to me.
William Shakespeare
