The happiest youth, viewing his progress through, What perils past, what crosses to ensue, Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Ask me no reason why I love you for though Love use Reason for his physician, he admits him not for his counsellor.
William Shakespeare
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
William Shakespeare
O, had I but followed the arts!
William Shakespeare
Being of no power to make his wishes good: His promises fly so beyond his state That what he speaks is all in debt he owes For every word.
William Shakespeare
He was met even now As mad as the vex'd sea singing aloud Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers, Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow In our sustaining corn.
William Shakespeare
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
William Shakespeare
I have drunk and seen the spider.
William Shakespeare
Time be thine, And thy best graces spend it at thy will.
William Shakespeare
As in a theatre, the eyes of men, after a well-graced actor leaves the stage, are idly bent on him that enters next.
William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson, senseless villain!
William Shakespeare
What is done cannot be now amended.
William Shakespeare
Strong reasons make strong actions let us go If you say ay, the king will not say no.
William Shakespeare
O, let him pass. He hates him That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer.
William Shakespeare
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death.
William Shakespeare
Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene From ancient grudge break to new mutiny Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
William Shakespeare
Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
William Shakespeare
Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!
William Shakespeare
But like of each thing that in season grows.
William Shakespeare
So, you are very welcome to our house. It must appear in other ways than words, Therefore, I scant this breathing courtesy.
William Shakespeare
