More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let me have war, say I it exceeds peace as far as day does night it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent.
William Shakespeare
I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Sweets to the sweet.
William Shakespeare
No matter where of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth
William Shakespeare
Best men oft are moulded out of faults.
William Shakespeare
Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
My rage is gone, And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers I'll be one. Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully, Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, Which to this hour bewail the injury, Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist.
William Shakespeare
That is honor's scorn Which challenges itself as honor's born And is not like the sire. Honors thrive When rather from our acts we them derive Than our foregoers.
William Shakespeare
Profit is a blessing, if it's not stolen.
William Shakespeare
To be generous, guiltless, and of a free disposition is to take those things for bird-bolts that you deem cannon-bullets.
William Shakespeare
That is my home of love: if I have ranged, Like him that travels I return again, Just to the time, not with the time exchanged.
William Shakespeare
So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.
William Shakespeare
See where she comes apparelled like the spring.
William Shakespeare
Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise: only this commendation I can afford her, that were she other than she is, she were unhandsome and being no other but as she is, I do not like her. (Benedick, from Much Ado About Nothing)
William Shakespeare
Speak on, but be not over-tedious.
William Shakespeare
Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.
William Shakespeare
I will be correspondent to command, And do my spiriting gently.
William Shakespeare
O Death, made proud with pure and princely beauty!
William Shakespeare
Thou ever young, fresh, lov'd, and delicate wooer, whose blush doth thaw the consecrated snow
William Shakespeare
O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy, In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!
William Shakespeare
