Marry, then, sweet wag, when thou art king, let not us that are squires of the night’s body be called thieves of the day’s beauty. Let us be Diana’s foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon, and let men say we be men of good government, being governed, as the sea is, by our noble and chaste mistress the moon, under whose countenance we steal. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "Happy thou art not; for what thou hast not, still thou..."
Happy thou art not; for what thou hast not, still thou strivest to get; and what thou hast, forgettest. William Shakespeare
What is your substance, whereof are you made, That millions of strange shadows on you tend? Since everyone hath every one, one shade, And you, but one, can every shadow lend. Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit Is poorly imitated after you. On Helen’s cheek all art of beauty set, And you in Grecian tires are painted new. Speak of the spring and foison of the year; The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear, And you in every blessd shape we know. In all... William Shakespeare
This fellow is wise enough to play the fool; And to do that well craves a kind of wit: He must observe their mood on whom he jests, The quality of persons, and the time, And, like the haggard, check at every feather. That comes before his eye. This is a practise. As full of labour as a wise man's art. For folly that he wisely shows is fit; But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful"
Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful William Shakespeare
Dost thou not suspect my place? Dost thou not suspect my years? O that he were here to write me down an ass! But masters, remember that I am an ass. Though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass. No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow, and which is more, an officer, and which is more, a householder, and which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any is in Messina, and one that knows the law, go to . . . and...

William Shakespeare quote: "thou art the best o' the cut-throats"
thou art the best o' the cut-throats William Shakespeare
To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand; therefore, if tou art mov'd, thou runst away. (To be angry is to move, to be brave is to stand still. Therefore, if you're angry, you'll run away.) William Shakespeare
Oswald: Why dost thou use me thus? I know thee not. Kent: Fellow, I know thee. Oswald: What dost thou know me for? Kent: A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy; worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward,... William Shakespeare
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; abase, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; alily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be abawd, in way of good service, and art nothing butthe composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom Iwill beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniestthe least... William Shakespeare
I yet beseech your majesty,--If for I want that glib and oily art, To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend, I'll do't before I speak,--that you make known. It is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness, No unchaste action, or dishonour'd step, That hath deprived me of your grace and favour; But even for want of that for which I am richer, A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue. As I am glad I have not, though not to have it. Hath lost me in your liking. William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, Who art..."
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, Who art as black as hell, as dark as night. William Shakespeare
Hence! home, you idle creatures get you home: Is this a holiday? what! know you not, Being mechanical, you ought not walk. Upon a labouring day without the sign. Of your profession? Speak, what trade art thou? William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "I sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright. Who art cold as..."
I sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright. Who art cold as Hel, as dark as night William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare quote: "What art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee..."
What art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee Benvolio, look upon thy death. William Shakespeare
