A good sherris-sack hath a twofold operation in it. It ascends me into the brain,... makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes.

More quotes by William Shakespeare
My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
William Shakespeare
O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!
William Shakespeare
Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change.
William Shakespeare
Say, thou art mine and ever, My love, as it begins, shall so persevere
William Shakespeare
O' thinkest thou we shall ever meet again? I doubt it not and all these woes shall serve For sweet discourses in our times to come.
William Shakespeare
What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?
William Shakespeare
For as a surfeit of the sweetest things The deepest loathing to the stomach brings, Or as tie heresies that men do leave Are hated most of those they did deceive, So thou, my surfeit and my heresy, Of all be hated, but the most of me!
William Shakespeare
To be merry best becomes you for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour.
William Shakespeare
To think but nobly of my grandmother: Good wombs have borne bad sons.
William Shakespeare
That truth should be silent I had almost forgot. (Enobarbus)
William Shakespeare
Direct not him whose way himself will choose 'Tis breath not lack'st, and that breath wilt thou lose.
William Shakespeare
Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.
William Shakespeare
Affection is a coal that must be cooled else, suffered, it will set the heart on fire.
William Shakespeare
The painful warrior famous for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil'd, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
William Shakespeare
The appurtenance of welcome is fashion and ceremony.
William Shakespeare
All is well ended if this suit be won. That you express content which we will pay, With strife to please you, day exceeding day.
William Shakespeare
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
William Shakespeare
All difficulties are easy when they are known.
William Shakespeare
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born, To signify thou camest to bite the world.
William Shakespeare
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
William Shakespeare
