More quotes by William Shakespeare
A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame.
William Shakespeare
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
William Shakespeare
To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! Conscience, and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation: To this point I stand,-- That both the worlds I give to negligence, Let come what comes only I'll be reveng'd.
William Shakespeare
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs: if her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her she would infect to the north star. I would not marry her, though she were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before he transgressed.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
But like of each thing that in season grows.
William Shakespeare
POLONIUS: What do you read, my lord? HAMLET: Words, words, words.
William Shakespeare
Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud.
William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
Vile worm, thou wast o'erlook'd even in thy birth.
William Shakespeare
Every why has a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
William Shakespeare
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs Piercing the night's dull ear and from the tents The armorers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation.
William Shakespeare
To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just.
William Shakespeare
I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable.
William Shakespeare
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield To one of woman born.
William Shakespeare
It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.
William Shakespeare
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own read.
William Shakespeare
We were not born to sue, but to command.
William Shakespeare
They say best men are molded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad
