More quotes by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
You must not think That we are made of stuff so fat and dull That we can let our beard be shook with danger And think it pastime.
William Shakespeare
My heart is turned to stone I strike it, and it hurts my hand.
William Shakespeare
What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, So stumblest on my counsel? *Who are you? Why do you hide in the darkness and listen to my private thoughts?*
William Shakespeare
O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven
William Shakespeare
Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both!
William Shakespeare
Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?
William Shakespeare
But, indeed, words are very rascals, since bonds [vows] disgraced them. Viola: Thy reason, man? Feste: Troth [Truthfully], sir, I can yield you none without words, and words are grown so false, I am loathe to prove reason with them.
William Shakespeare
He is well paid that is well satisfied.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
William Shakespeare
But virtue never will be mov'd, Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven.
William Shakespeare
I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away.
William Shakespeare
A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?
William Shakespeare
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash ’tis something, nothing ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought.
William Shakespeare
