More quotes by William Shakespeare
Now the fair goddess, Fortune, Fall deep in love with thee, and her great charms Misguide thy opposers' swords!
William Shakespeare
Beauty's a doubtful good, a glass, a flower, Lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour And beauty, blemish'd once, for ever's lost, In spite of physic, painting, pain, and cost.
William Shakespeare
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber.
William Shakespeare
The moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven.
William Shakespeare
What e'er you are That in this desert inaccessible, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Lose and neglect the creeping hours of time.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Benvolio- By my head, here come the Capulets. Mercutio- By my heel, I care not.
William Shakespeare
Love denied blights the soul we owe to God.
William Shakespeare
Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
William Shakespeare
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
There is no more mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
William Shakespeare
Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change.
William Shakespeare
The weakest kind of fruit drops earliest to the ground.
William Shakespeare
Fortune reigns in gifts of the world.
William Shakespeare
At once, good night- Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once.
William Shakespeare
What the great ones do, the less will prattle of
William Shakespeare
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
William Shakespeare
But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts whereof I take this that you call love to bea sect or scion.... It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will.
William Shakespeare
