Myself will straight aboard, and to the state This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
William Shakespeare
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
William Shakespeare
The nature of bad news affects the teller.
William Shakespeare
He's a soldier and for one to say a soldier lies, is stabbing.
William Shakespeare
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
You taught me language, and my profit on't / Is, I know how to curse
William Shakespeare
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, And young affection gapes to be his heir That fair for which love groan'd for and would die, With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
William Shakespeare
I will chide no breather in the world but myself, against whom I know most faults.
William Shakespeare
If fortune torments me, hope contents me.
William Shakespeare
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.
William Shakespeare
What can be avoided Whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
William Shakespeare
Good wombs have borne bad sons. -- (Miranda, I:2)
William Shakespeare
The painful warrior famous for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil'd, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
William Shakespeare
Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall.
William Shakespeare
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
Do not speak like a death's-head, do not bid me remember mine end.
William Shakespeare
Against ill chances men are ever merry, But heaviness foreruns the good event.
William Shakespeare
No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.
William Shakespeare
Hate pollutes the mind.
William Shakespeare
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
William Shakespeare
