More quotes by William Shakespeare
We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
...too much sadness hath congealed your blood,And melancholy is the nurse of frenzy.
William Shakespeare
So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
William Shakespeare
Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light
William Shakespeare
You have dancing shoes with nimble soles. I have a soul of lead.
William Shakespeare
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?
William Shakespeare
The commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.
William Shakespeare
Well, I will find you twenty lascivious turtles ere one chaste man.
William Shakespeare
Present mirth hath present laughter. What's to come is still unsure.
William Shakespeare
Yet, do thy worst, old Time despite thy wrong, My love shall in my verse ever live young.
William Shakespeare
As true as steel, as plantage to the moon, As sun to day, at turtle to her mate, As iron to adamant, as earth to centre.
William Shakespeare
Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
William Shakespeare
Of chastity, the ornaments are chaste.
William Shakespeare
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times a brave man dies but once.
William Shakespeare
If the skin were parchment and the blows you gave were ink, Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.
William Shakespeare
To England will I steal, and there I'll steal.
William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate... When in eternal lines to time thou growst So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
Be just, and fear not.
William Shakespeare
