More quotes by William Shakespeare
I am one, my liege, Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world Have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world.
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
William Shakespeare
The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Burnt on the water.
William Shakespeare
T'is true: there's magic in the web of it.
William Shakespeare
Speak on, but be not over-tedious.
William Shakespeare
Tears harden lust, though marble wear with raining.
William Shakespeare
To pore upon a book, to seek the light of truth.

The play's the thing.
William Shakespeare
And to the English court assemble now, From every region, apes of idleness!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.
William Shakespeare
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
William Shakespeare
Pause awhile, And let my counsel sway you.
William Shakespeare
Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace. Leave gormandizing.
William Shakespeare
O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!
William Shakespeare
Though now this grained face of mine be hid In sap-consuming winter's drizzled snow, And all the conduits of my blood froze up, Yet hath my night of life some memory, My wasting lamps some fading glimmer left, My dull deaf ears a little use to hear.
William Shakespeare
I have been long a sleeper but I trust My absence doth neglect no great design Which by my presence might have been concluded.
William Shakespeare
Hate pollutes the mind.
William Shakespeare
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*
William Shakespeare
