Quotes

I always feel happy, you know why? Because I don't expect anything from anyone; expectations always hurt. Life is short. So love your life. Be happy. And keep smiling. Just Live for yourself and always remember: Before you speak... Listen. Before you write... Think. Before you spend... Earn. Before you pray... Forgive. Before you hurt... Feel. Before you hate... Love. Before you quit... Try. Before you die... Live... That’s Life…Feel it, Live it and Enjoy it. William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And too often is his gold complexion dimm'd: And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or natures changing course untrimm'd; By thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in... William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy. Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend. Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech. William Shakespeare
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand: My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne; And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts. I dreamt my lady came and found me dead— Strange dream, that gives a dead man leave to think!— And breathed such life with kisses in my lips, That I revived, and was an emperor. Ah me! how sweet is love itself possess'd, When but love's shadows are so rich in joy! 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
William Shakespeare quote: "So dear I love him that with him, All deaths I could endure...."
So dear I love him that with him, All deaths I could endure. Without him, live no life William Shakespeare
And in thy best consideration check. This hideous rashness. Answer my life my judgement. Thy youngest daughter does not love thee least, Nor are those empty-hearted whose low sounds. Reverb no hollowness. William Shakespeare
Either to die the death or to abjure. For ever the society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires; Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, You can endure the livery of a nun, For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Thrice-blessed they that master so their blood, To undergo such maiden pilgrimage; But earthlier happy is the rose... William Shakespeare
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But sad mortality o'er-sways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower? O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out Against the wreckful siege of battering days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays? O fearful meditation! where, alack, Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid? Or what strong hand can hold his swift... William Shakespeare
O, if I say, you look upon this verse, When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay; Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "And his unkindness may defeat my life, But never taint my love."
And his unkindness may defeat my life, But never taint my love. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "Friendship is constant in all other things, save in the office..."
Friendship is constant in all other things, save in the office and affairs of love. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it."
Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly."
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. William Shakespeare
Who will believe my verse in time to come, If it were fill'd with your most high deserts? Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb Which hides your life and shows not half your parts. If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say 'This poet lies: Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.' So should my papers yellow'd with their age Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue, And your true rights be term'd a... William Shakespeare
