William Shakespeare quotes - page 42

[Thou] mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms! (William Shakespeare)

The robb'd that smiles, steals something from the thief; He robs himself that spends a bootless grief.

William Shakespeare

Out, out brief candle, life is but a walking shadow... a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

turn him into stars and form a constellation in his image. His face will make the heavens so beautiful that the world will fall in love with the night and forget about the garish sun.

William Shakespeare

I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.

William Shakespeare

Love me!... Why?

William Shakespeare

How does he love me? With adoration, with fertile tears, With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.

William Shakespeare

If we shadows have offended, Know but this and all is mended. That you have but slumbered here, While these visions did appear, And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding, but a dream.

William Shakespeare

I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king of infinite space.

William Shakespeare

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.

William Shakespeare

What, you egg? (William Shakespeare)

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom: If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

William Shakespeare

Clown: Good Madonna, why mournest thou? Olivia: Good Fool, for my brother's death. Clown:I think his soul is in hell, Madonna. Olivia:I know his soul is in heaven, Fool. Clown: The more fool, Madonna, to mourn for your brother's soul being in heaven.

William Shakespeare

The worst was this: my love was my decay.

William Shakespeare

Something wicked this way comes.

William Shakespeare

A thousand times good night. A thousand times the worse, to want thy light. Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, but love from love, toward school with heavy looks.

William Shakespeare

Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Devis'd at first to keep the strong in awe: Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law. March on, join bravely, let us to't pell-mell; If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell.

William Shakespeare

therein lies the rub.

William Shakespeare

Sin, death, and hell have set their marks on him, And all their ministers attend on him.

William Shakespeare

Blind is his love and best befits the dark- Benvolio (in Romeo and Juliet) (William Shakespeare)

These sudden joys have sudden endings. They burn up in victory like fire and gunpowder.

William Shakespeare

When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

William Shakespeare

She gave me for my pains a world of sighs.

William Shakespeare

What win I if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy?
