More quotes by William Shakespeare
Vile worm, thou wast o'erlook'd even in thy birth.
William Shakespeare
You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.
William Shakespeare
As there comes light from heaven and words from breath, As there is sense in truth and truth in virtue
William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
William Shakespeare
Ingrateful man with liquorish draughts, and morsels unctuous, greases his pure mind that from it all consideration slips.
William Shakespeare
Why, thou knowest I am as valiant as Hercules, but beware instinct. The lion will not touch the true prince. Instinct is a great matter. I was a coward on instinct.
William Shakespeare
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
Nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will.
William Shakespeare
The fear's as bad as falling.
William Shakespeare
I am ill at these numbers.
William Shakespeare
I am not in the roll of common men.
William Shakespeare
I had rather eleven died nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.
William Shakespeare
Honest plain words best pierce the ear of grief.
William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare
Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.
William Shakespeare
Just death, kind umpire of men's miseries.
William Shakespeare
Tis safter to be that which we destroy Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.
William Shakespeare
The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.
William Shakespeare
Travelers must be content.
William Shakespeare
I have almost forgotten the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool’d to hear a night-shriek and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in’t: I have supt full with horrors Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, cannot once start me.
William Shakespeare
