More quotes by William Shakespeare
To you your father should be as a god One that composed your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax, By him imprinted, and within his power To leave the figure or disfigure it.
William Shakespeare
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
William Shakespeare
Oh what fools we mortals are.
William Shakespeare
Thus hath the candle sing'd the moth. O these deliberate fools!
William Shakespeare
Suffer love a good epithet! I do suffer love, indeed, for I love thee against my will.
William Shakespeare
Jesu, Jesu, the mad days that I have spent! And to see how many of my old acquaintance are dead!
William Shakespeare
The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was.
William Shakespeare
Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? When at your hands did I deserve this scorn? Is't not enough, is't not enough, young man, That I did never, no, nor never can, Deserve a sweet look from Demetrius' eye, But you must flout my insufficiency?
William Shakespeare
Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.
William Shakespeare
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
William Shakespeare
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!
William Shakespeare
Keep thy friend Under thy own life's key.
William Shakespeare
April ... hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespeare
Good counselors lack no clients.
William Shakespeare
A great while ago the world begun, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain But that's all one, our play is done, And we'll strive to please you every day.
William Shakespeare
I had as lief have been myself alone.
William Shakespeare
Fondling,' she saith, 'since I have hemm'd thee here Within the circuit of this ivory pale, I'll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale: Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
William Shakespeare
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
Drown thyself? Drown cats and blind puppies.
William Shakespeare
Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain: As, painfully to pore upon a book, To seek the light of truth, which truth the while Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
William Shakespeare
