Let us, like merchants, show our foulest wares, And think perchance they'll sell if not, The lustre of the better yet to show Shall show the better.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had liv'd a blessed time for, from this instant, There's nothing serious in mortality: All is but toys renown, and grace is dead The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of.
William Shakespeare
The last taste of sweets is sweetest last.
William Shakespeare
And either victory, or else a grave.
William Shakespeare
What e'er you are That in this desert inaccessible, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Lose and neglect the creeping hours of time.
William Shakespeare
What early tongue so sweet saluteth me? Young son, it argues a distemper'd head So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.
William Shakespeare
Why, I can smile and murder whiles I smile, And cry 'content' to that which grieves my heart, And wet my cheeks with artificial tears, And frame my face for all occasions
William Shakespeare
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
William Shakespeare
And where two raging fires meet together, they do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
William Shakespeare
For in the fatness of these pursy times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg.
William Shakespeare
Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight The words of heaven on whom it will, it will, On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.
William Shakespeare
Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast but thy good spirits To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
William Shakespeare
Take no repulse, whatever she doth say For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.' Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces
William Shakespeare
A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond justice rails upon yon simple thief. Hark, in thine ear: change places and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the thief?
William Shakespeare
I cannot, nor I will not hold me still My tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will.
William Shakespeare
Out of her favour, where I am in love.
William Shakespeare
Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye.
William Shakespeare
A fusty nut with no kernel.
William Shakespeare
If I had my mouth, I would bite if I had my liberty, I would do my liking. In the meantime, let me be that I am, and seek not toalter me.
William Shakespeare
I almost die for food, and let me have it!
William Shakespeare
Doubt is a thief that often makes us fear to tread where we might have won.
William Shakespeare
