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
I pray thee cease thy counsel, Which falls into mine ears as profitless as water in a sieve.
William Shakespeare
What the great ones do, the less will prattle of
William Shakespeare
O, let him pass. He hates him That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer.
William Shakespeare
O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)
William Shakespeare
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
William Shakespeare
Grief hath two tongues and never woman yet Could rule them both without ten women's wit.
William Shakespeare
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words. Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord? Hamlet: Between who? Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
William Shakespeare
Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare
A plague on both your houses.
William Shakespeare
I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity.
William Shakespeare
O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse.
William Shakespeare
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, But 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? O friar, the damned use that word in hell Howling attends it! How hast thou the heart, Being a divine, a ghostly confessor, A sin-absolver, and my friend professed, To mangle me with that word 'banished'?
William Shakespeare
Now he'll outstare the lightning. To be furious Is to be frightened out of fear.
William Shakespeare
Hot blood begets hot thoughts, And hot thoughts beget Hot deeds, And hot deeds is love.
William Shakespeare
For you and I are past our dancing days.
William Shakespeare
The heart hath treble wrong When it is barr'd the aidance of the tongue.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
William Shakespeare
Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries, As motion and long-during action tires The sinewy vigor of the traveller.
William Shakespeare
Or are you like the painting of a sorrow, a face without a heart?
William Shakespeare
