More quotes by William Shakespeare
Oh, that way madness lies let me shun that.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel only to be kind Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Ay, but to die and go we know not where To lie in cold obstrution and to rot This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
William Shakespeare
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sell eternity to get a toy? For one grape who will the vine destroy?
William Shakespeare
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
William Shakespeare
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Who is here so vile that will not love his country?
William Shakespeare
O, call back yesterday, bid time return
William Shakespeare
I had as lief have been myself alone.
William Shakespeare
Never shame to hear what you have nobly done
William Shakespeare
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily... is wasteful and ridiculous excess
William Shakespeare
. . . it is impossible you should take true root but by the fair weather that you make yourself it is needful that you frame the season of your own harvest.
William Shakespeare
For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare
Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.
William Shakespeare
Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak.
William Shakespeare
He is winding the watch of his wit by and by it will strike.
William Shakespeare
There's some ill planet reigns: I must be patient till the heavens look With an aspect more favourable.
William Shakespeare
You'd be so lean, that blast of January Would blow you through and through. Now, my fair'st friend, I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might Become your time of day.
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
Beshrew the heart that makes my heart to groan.
William Shakespeare
