More quotes by William Shakespeare
A man should be what he seems.
William Shakespeare
It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it.
William Shakespeare
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
William Shakespeare
When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me wouldst give me Water with berries in't and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night and then I loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.
William Shakespeare
I cannot be a man with wishing, therefore I will die a woman with grieving.
William Shakespeare
Faith, I have been a truant in the law And never yet could frame my will to it, And therefore frame the law unto my will.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
William Shakespeare
One man in his time plays many parts.
William Shakespeare
Equality of two domestic powers Breeds scrupulous faction.
William Shakespeare
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!
William Shakespeare
I would we were all of one mind, and one mind good.
William Shakespeare
Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth.
William Shakespeare
The apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
William Shakespeare
O braggart vile and damned furious wight!
William Shakespeare
Then others for breath of words respect, Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
William Shakespeare
