More quotes by William Shakespeare

Image
Night's candles have burned out, and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountaintops. Hope tinged with melancholy - like life.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is slicked o'er with the pale cast of thought
William Shakespeare
Image
My business was great, and in such a case as mine a man may strain courtesy.
William Shakespeare
Image
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
Image
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.
William Shakespeare
Image
Do not cast away an honest man for a villain's accusation.
William Shakespeare
Image
O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavor be so loved, and the performance so loathed?
William Shakespeare
Image
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!

The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.

It is the cowish terror of his spirit that dares not undertake he'll not feel wrongs which tie him to an answer.
William Shakespeare
Image
My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
William Shakespeare
Image
We make trifles of terrors, Ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, When we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I am sure, Though you can guess what temperance should be, You know not what it is.
William Shakespeare
Image
Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.
William Shakespeare
Image
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Image
To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans coy looks, with heart-sore sighs one fading moment's mirth
William Shakespeare
Image
Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world.
William Shakespeare
Image
Good old grandsire ... we shall be joyful of thy company.
William Shakespeare
Image
For this relief much thanks. 'Tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.
William Shakespeare
Image
Do thou amend thy face, and I'll amend my life.
