More quotes by William Shakespeare
Let me be ignorant, and in nothing good, but graciously to know I am no better.
William Shakespeare
I do profess to be no less than I seem to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest to converse with him that is wise, and says little to fear judgment to fight when I cannot choose and to eat no fish.
William Shakespeare
This senior-junior, giant-dwarf, Dan Cupid Regent of love-rhymes, lord of folded arms, The anointed sovereign of sighs and groans, Liege of all loiterers and malcontents.
William Shakespeare
There's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year.
William Shakespeare
Love moderately long love doth so too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
William Shakespeare
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet Grace must still look so.
William Shakespeare
They may seize On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand And steal immortal blessing from her lips, Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.
William Shakespeare
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! Thou little valiant, great in villainy! Thou ever strong upon the stronger side! Thou Fortune's champion, that dost never fight But where her humorous ladyship is by To teach thee safety.
William Shakespeare
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
Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of a nation.
William Shakespeare
She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project or affection, she is so self-endeared
William Shakespeare
My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break.
William Shakespeare
We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head?
William Shakespeare
The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance, be thine in great revenue!
William Shakespeare
With caution judge of probability. Things deemed unlikely, e'en impossible, experience oft hath proved to be true.
William Shakespeare
Make use of time, let not advantage slip Beauty within itself should not be wasted: Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime Rot and consume themselves in little time.
William Shakespeare
Strong reasons make strong actions let us go If you say ay, the king will not say no.
William Shakespeare
Tis beauty that doth oft make women proud but, God He knows, thy share thereof is small.
William Shakespeare
'Tis not to make me jealous To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well Where virtue is, these are more virtuous.
William Shakespeare
