More quotes by William Shakespeare
She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed She is a woman, therefore to be won.
William Shakespeare
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
William Shakespeare
Prosperity's the very bond of love.
William Shakespeare
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not (5.3.25-28).
William Shakespeare
My lord, they say five moons were seen to-night-- Four fixed, and the fifth did whirl about The other four in wondrous motion.
William Shakespeare
ROMEO to BALTHASAR But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs: The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
William Shakespeare
Good counselors lack no clients.
William Shakespeare
Be to yourself as you would to your friend.
William Shakespeare
Be collected. No more amazement. Tell your piteous heart There's no harm done.
William Shakespeare
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.
William Shakespeare
Lay aside life-harming heaviness, And entertain a cheerful disposition.
William Shakespeare
Ay me! for aught that ever I could read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth.
William Shakespeare
Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.
William Shakespeare
Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come if it be not to come, it will be now if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
William Shakespeare
Nothing 'gainst Times scythe can make defence.
William Shakespeare
Time, whose millioned accidents creep in betwixt vows, and change decrees of kings, tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharpest intents, divert strong minds to the course of altering things.
William Shakespeare
Should all despair That have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind Would hang themselves.
William Shakespeare
Here comes Monseiur Le Beau. Rosalind: With his mouth full of news. Celia: Which he will put on us, as pigeons feed their young. Rosalind: Then shall we be news-crammed. Celia: All the better we shall be the more marketable.
William Shakespeare
Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap? Ophelia: No, my lord. Hamlet: DId you think I meant country matters? Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord. Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs. Ophelia: What is, my lord? Hamlet: Nothing.
William Shakespeare
I am giddy, expectation whirls me round. The imaginary relish is so sweet That it enchants my sense.
William Shakespeare
