More quotes by William Shakespeare
for my grief's so great That no supporter but the huge firm earth Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it. (Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1)
William Shakespeare
They that have voice of lions and act of hares,--are they not monsters?
William Shakespeare
No evil lost is wailed when it is gone.
William Shakespeare
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
Temptation is the fire that brings up the scum of the heart.
William Shakespeare
My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.
William Shakespeare
The commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.
William Shakespeare
Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain.
William Shakespeare
And nature must obey necessity.
William Shakespeare
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov'd, I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
William Shakespeare
A thousand moral paintings I can show That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune's More pregnantly than words.
William Shakespeare
I would give all of my fame for a pot of ale and safety.
William Shakespeare
For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
William Shakespeare
Who has a book of all that monarchs do, He's more secure to keep it shut than shown For vice repeated is like the wand'ring wind, Blows dust in others' eye, to spread itself And yet the end of all is bought thus dear, The breath is gone, and the sore eyes see clear To stop the air would hurt them.
William Shakespeare
A heavy heart bears not a nimble tongue.
William Shakespeare
Things at the worst will cease or else climb upward To what they were before.
William Shakespeare
Be wary then best safety lies in fear.
William Shakespeare
What is light, if Sylvia be not seen? What is joy if Sylvia be not by?
William Shakespeare
The devil shall have his bargain for he was never yet a breaker of proverbs--he will give the devil his due.
William Shakespeare
Ay, but hearken, sir though the chameleon Love can feed on the air, I am one that am nourished by my victuals, and would fain have meat.
William Shakespeare
