Yon grey lines That fret the clouds are messengers of day.
William Shakespeare
For it falls out That what we have we prize not to the worth Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, Why, then we rack the value, then we find The virtue that possession would not show us While it was ours.
William Shakespeare
Eternity was in our lips and eyes.
William Shakespeare
You must not think That we are made of stuff so fat and dull That we can let our beard be shook with danger And think it pastime.
William Shakespeare
Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
William Shakespeare
What fates impose, that men must needs abide it boots not to resist both wind and tide.
William Shakespeare
I am thy father's spirit Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night And, for the day, confin'd to fast in fires, Till the foul crimes, done in my days of nature, Are burnt and purg'd away.
William Shakespeare
What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet, But poisoned flattery?
William Shakespeare
Assure thee, if I do vow a friendship, I'll perform it to the last article. --Othello, Act III, Scene iii
William Shakespeare
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
William Shakespeare
Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men As hounds, and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves, are 'clept All by the name of dogs: the valued file Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle, The housekeeper, the hunter, every one According to the gift which bounteous nature Hath in him closed.
William Shakespeare
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou has no name to be known by, let us call thee devil....O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
William Shakespeare
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare
Nature teaches beasts to know their friends.
William Shakespeare
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.
William Shakespeare
Give me to drink mandragora.
William Shakespeare
Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?
William Shakespeare
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh.
William Shakespeare
Preposterous ass, that never read so far to know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare
Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite, Encompassed with thy lustful paramours, Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age And twit with cowardice a man half dead?
William Shakespeare
