More quotes by William Shakespeare
Give it an understanding, but no tongue.
William Shakespeare
I cannot tell what you and other men Think of this life but, for my single self, I had as lief not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself.
William Shakespeare
Oh, I have passed a miserable night, so full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams!
William Shakespeare
And why not death rather than living torment? To die is to be banish'd from myself And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her Is self from self: a deadly banishment!
William Shakespeare
Care I for the limb, the thews, the stature, bulk, and big assemblance of a man! Give me the spirit.
William Shakespeare
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
William Shakespeare
And where the offense is, let the great axe fall.
William Shakespeare
This passion, and the death of a dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad.
William Shakespeare
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
William Shakespeare
Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.
William Shakespeare
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow, than a man swear he loves me.
William Shakespeare
Women are not In their best fortunes strong, but want will perjure the ne'er-touched vestal.
William Shakespeare
The color of the king doth come and go, Between his purpose and his conscience, Like heralds 'twixt two dreadful battles set: His passion is so ripe, it needs must break.
William Shakespeare
You have her father's love, Demetrius Let me have Hermia's: do you marry him!
William Shakespeare
Your praises will become your wages.
William Shakespeare
Plain and not honest is too harsh a style.
William Shakespeare
Neither my place, nor aught I heard of business, Hath raised me from my bed nor doth the general care Take hold on me for my particular grief Is of so floodgate and o'erbearing nature That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, And it is still itself.
William Shakespeare
The iron tongue of Midnight hath told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis almost fairy time. I fear we shall outstep the coming morn as much as we this night over-watch'd.
William Shakespeare
Mine honor is my life, both grow in one. Take honor from me, and my life is done. Then, dear my liege, mine honor let me try In that I live, and for that I will die.
William Shakespeare
Too nice, and yet too true!
William Shakespeare
