More quotes by William Shakespeare
O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Wilt thou be made a man out of my vice?
William Shakespeare
Our content Is our best having.
William Shakespeare
Gives not the hawthorn bush a sweeter shade To shepherds, looking on their silly sheep, Than doth a rich embroider'd canopy To kings that fear their subjects treachery?
William Shakespeare
Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
William Shakespeare
What is the city but the people?
William Shakespeare
And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
William Shakespeare
But 'tis common proof, that lowliness is young ambition's ladder, whereto the climber-upward turns his face but when he once attains the upmost round, he then turns his back, looks in the clouds, scorning the vase defrees by which he did ascend.
William Shakespeare
O excellent! I love long life better than figs.
William Shakespeare
Lend less than you owe.
William Shakespeare
The past is prologue.
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
Let's meet as little as we can
William Shakespeare
Nothing can come of nothing.
William Shakespeare
Report of fashions in proud Italy Whose manners still our tardy-apish nation Limps after in base imitation
William Shakespeare
Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues. Let every eye negotiate for itself, And trust no agent for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
William Shakespeare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
I have supped full with horrors.
William Shakespeare
Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both!
William Shakespeare
O King, believe not this hard-hearted man!
William Shakespeare
When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner
William Shakespeare
