Look on beauty, And you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight, Which therein works a miracle in nature, Making them lightest that wear most of it.

More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
These are the forgeries of jealousy And never, since the middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.
William Shakespeare
Image
Let's teach ourselves that honorable stop, Not to outsport discretion.
William Shakespeare
Image
Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love.
William Shakespeare
Image
Take no repulse, whatever she doth say For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.' Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces
William Shakespeare
Image
But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat.
William Shakespeare
Image
What is done cannot be now amended.
William Shakespeare

Tis in my memory lock'd, And you yourself shall keep the key of it.
William Shakespeare

Their manners are more gentle, kind, than of Our human generation you shall find.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, thou deboshed fish thou...Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish and half a monster?
William Shakespeare
Image
O the world is but a word were it all yours to give it in a breath, how quickly were it gone!
William Shakespeare
Image
The liquid drops of tears that you have shed Shall come again, transform'd to orient pearl, Advantaging their loan with interest Of ten times double gain of happiness.
William Shakespeare
Image
I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air.
William Shakespeare
Image
Weed your better judgments of all opinion that grows rank in them.
William Shakespeare
Image
I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
William Shakespeare
Image
Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.
William Shakespeare
Image
So may I, blind fortune leading me, Miss that which one unworthier may attain, And die with grieving.
William Shakespeare
Image
So, you are very welcome to our house. It must appear in other ways than words, Therefore, I scant this breathing courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Image
Sir, the year growing ancient, Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors, Which some call nature's bastards.
William Shakespeare
Image
In nature there's no blemish but the mind. None can be called deformed but the unkind.
William Shakespeare
Image
As I hope For quiet days, fair issue, and long life, With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den, The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion Our worser genius can, shall never melt Mine honour into lust, to take away The edge of that day's celebration, When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd Or Night kept chain'd below.
