More quotes by William Shakespeare
Coward dogs most spend their mouths when what they seem to threaten runs far before them.
William Shakespeare
Indeed, sir, he that sleeps feels not the toothache but a man that were to sleep your sleep, and a hangman to help him to bed, I think he would change places with his officer for look you, sir, you know not which way you shall go.
William Shakespeare
Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth.
William Shakespeare
A harmless necessary cat.
William Shakespeare
We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.
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
Love runs away from those chasing her, and those who run away, she throws herself on his neck.
William Shakespeare
And all this day an unaccustomed spirit lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
William Shakespeare
That we would do We should do when we would, for this 'would' changes, And hath abatements and delays as many As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents, And then this 'should' is like a spendthrift sigh, That hurts by easing.
William Shakespeare
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. *Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.*
William Shakespeare
Men from children nothing differ.
William Shakespeare
This music crept by me upon the waters, Allaying both their fury and my passion With its sweet air: thence I have follow’d it.
William Shakespeare
Tax not so bad a voice to slander music any more than once.
William Shakespeare
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare
Why, this hath not a finger's dignity.
William Shakespeare
Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered!
William Shakespeare
Men that make Envy and crooked malice nourishment, Dare bite the best.
William Shakespeare
If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends, You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse, That it shall hold companionship in peace With honour, as in war: since that to both It stands in like request?
William Shakespeare
Murder most foul, as in the best it it But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
William Shakespeare
