Image
This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker, this huge hill of flesh!
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar school.
William Shakespeare
Image
If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
William Shakespeare
Image
Rumour doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the feared.
William Shakespeare
Image
To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans, Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights If haply won, perhaps a hapless gain If lost, why then a grievous labour won However, but a folly bought with wit, Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
William Shakespeare
Image
The band that seems to tie their friendship together will be the very strangler of their amity.
William Shakespeare
Image
Use every man according to his desert and who should 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity, the less they deserve ... the more merit in your bounty.
William Shakespeare
Image
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
Image
Though music oft hath such a charm to make bad good, and good provoke to harm.
William Shakespeare
Image
They do not love that do not show their love.
William Shakespeare
Image
Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds.
William Shakespeare
Image
This wimpled, whining, purblind, wayward boy, this Senior Junior, giant dwarf...Cupid.
William Shakespeare
Image
O hell! to choose love with another's eye.
William Shakespeare
Image
O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple.
William Shakespeare
Image
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
Image
One fire burns out another's burning, One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish.
William Shakespeare
Image
But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
William Shakespeare
Image
The king is but a man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me the element shows to him as it doth to me all his senses have but human conditions his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
William Shakespeare
Image
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
