Say, what abridgement have you for this evening? What masque, what music? How shall we beguile The lazy time if not with some delight?

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Much rain wears the marble.
William Shakespeare
I am too old to fawn upon a nurse, Too far in years to be a pupil now.
William Shakespeare
I could be well content To entertain the lag-end of my life With quiet hours.
William Shakespeare
Now entertain conjecture of a time When creeping murmur and the poring dark Fills the wide vessel of the universe.
William Shakespeare
I have supped full with horrors.
William Shakespeare
Why, who cries out on pride that can therein tax any private party? Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea till the weary very means do ebb?
William Shakespeare
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
My rage is gone, And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers I'll be one. Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully, Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, Which to this hour bewail the injury, Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist.
William Shakespeare
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne, And all this day an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so.
William Shakespeare
Where hateful Death put on his ugliest mask.
William Shakespeare
I am not of that feather, to shake off my friend when he must need me
William Shakespeare
I pardon him, as God shall pardon me.
William Shakespeare
I have heard it said There is an art which in their piedness shares With great creating nature.
William Shakespeare
To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe, And so your follies fight against yourself. Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight And fight and die is death destroying death, Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.
William Shakespeare
Despair and die. The ghosts
William Shakespeare
To think but nobly of my grandmother: Good wombs have borne bad sons.
William Shakespeare
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim, When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid!
William Shakespeare
I am declined Into the vale of years.
William Shakespeare
