More quotes by William Shakespeare
No, by my soul, I never in my life Did hear a challenge urged more modestly, Unless a brother should a brother dare To gentle exercise and proof of arms.
William Shakespeare
I love him for his sake And yet I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward Yet these fix'd evils sit so fit in him That they take place when virtue's steely bones Looks bleak i' th' cold wind withal, full oft we see Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.
William Shakespeare
A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects of watching!
William Shakespeare
These blessed candles of the night.
William Shakespeare
Full fathom five thy father lies Of his bones are coral made Those are pearls that were his eyes Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell.
William Shakespeare
I profess not talking: only this, Let each man do his best.
William Shakespeare
Your date is better in your pie and your porridge than in your cheek.
William Shakespeare
Though men can cover crimes with bold, stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
William Shakespeare
Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator.
William Shakespeare
Thou speak'st like him's untutored to repeat: Who makes the fairest show means most deceit.
William Shakespeare
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
William Shakespeare
I can give the loser leave to chide.
William Shakespeare
My heart suspects more than mine eye can see.
William Shakespeare
There is little choice in a barrel of rotten apples.
William Shakespeare
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare
To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still.
William Shakespeare
This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our tongues,Was once thought honest.
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
William Shakespeare
I have not slept. Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The Genius and the mortal instruments Are then in council and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
William Shakespeare
In persons grafted in a serious trust, Negligence is a crime.
William Shakespeare
