More quotes by William Shakespeare
I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people.
William Shakespeare
That which in mean men we entitle patience is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.
William Shakespeare
For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give.
William Shakespeare
I beseech you, Wrest once the law to your authority: To do a great right, do a little wrong.
William Shakespeare
What man dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.
William Shakespeare
Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.
William Shakespeare
All furnished, all in arms All plum'd like estridges that with the wind Bated like eagles having lately bathed Glittering in golden coats like images As full of spirit as the month of May And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
William Shakespeare
I will not be sworn but love may transform me to an oyster
William Shakespeare
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.
William Shakespeare
My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the Bay of Portugal.
William Shakespeare
On a day - alack the day! - Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair Playing in the wanton air
William Shakespeare
Weed your better judgments of all opinion that grows rank in them.
William Shakespeare
If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul.
William Shakespeare
Live loath'd and long, Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears, You fools of fortune, trencher friends, time flies Cap and knee slaves, vapors, and minute jacks.
William Shakespeare
Men in rage strike those that wish them best.
William Shakespeare
Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: ‘tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil
William Shakespeare
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
William Shakespeare
Death where is thy sting? Love, where is thy glory?
William Shakespeare
If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
William Shakespeare
Delay leads impotent and snail-paced beggary.
William Shakespeare
